No McCain is not Bush. He's even worse!

Ya, who needs someone with experience like Mcain, when we can have the smooth talker barac hussein obama, the one who's friends has shape is caracter, we all want a socialist nation, right, equal for all people, it doesn't matter if you work hard or not you get to have everything everybody else have, let the goverment run this nation, yes, go obama, its time for the democrats to control the senate, congress and the white or( black house) and don't forget the supreme court justice, yes, obama the great, finally the mesiah has arrived, buckle up get ready, SOCIALISM its on its way, nra you are done, foods stamps for everyone your back,yes yes yes...

Palin's speeches are bad like the decisions being made by John McCain. McCain's anger and Palin's lies can start any wild fire.Please don't let them go west.

Ever notice how Palin always says, " “I feel like I am at home because I see ......". Getting old, and all her speeches are repeats of McCain, doesn't she ever have an original thought?

The truly scary thing about Sarah Palin (besides being completely out of her league) is that while she is scanning the crowd for the NRA signs and the steel toed boots she so loves she is ignoring that there is a whole big world out there besides her beloved small town in Alaska and whatever other town she deems suitable enough for her to grace her presence in. America is very big and full of diversity, it's a shame that Sarah Palin is only willing to embrace those who share her equally narrow minded vision of the world.

"my friends" McCain and Palin need to buy a clue. I will be so relieved when an intellectual is in the white house.

Oh PS – Maybe "Joe the plumber" can come repair a leaky faucet or broken toilet since he seems to think he will no longer be able to be in business....
Obama/Biden 08

Wonder if she will have her hand out for free federal government money when she goes back to Alaska?
If you feel so home sick "just click your heels together 3 times and say There's No Place Like Home"..and if we are all lucky..you will be there in no time.

Could not help but notice: This speech that Palin gave-where she praised McCain debate performance, was scripted!
When will she give interviews and speeches without anyone spoon feeding her?
BTW how much $ are they spending everyday to get her hair done? I am sure this $ can feed Joe in my block.

Our local paper, VA Gazette, printed a letter from a former state budget director from Juneau, Alaska who was in town to visit relatives. She stated Palin's achievements as a reformer and energy expert are greatly exaggerated and that governing an oil rich state with hughe budget surpluses had not given Palin the experience to deal with today's complex national and global economic problems. Nor has it given Palin any foreign policy experience. She also stated "Palin does not have the qualifications to be vice president, much less president". This person, who has witnessed Palin's efforts in Alaska first hand, is supporting Obama for his deep understanding of the economy and foreign affairs as well as his character and judgement. It seems that so many of those who are enthralled with Palin haven't taken the time to do any research on her and might be surprised at what information is available via the internet. There is definitely a second side to the story as Palin tells it.

The new Palin theme song

Domo Arigato Mrs. Roboto Domo Domo

Palin's just maverickin' around the country incitin' hate & discontent, and ignorin' facts. The facts'll catch up with her on November 4th, no matter where she's maverickin' at.

Listening to Sarah Palin.....one word....McPAIN

What debate was she watching? I suppose McCain won if you are a rabid Republican base constituent. But, for the rest of the country, the majority of the country, it was, in fact, the opposite. Another clear win for Obama and for the US.

If John McCain is so great, why did he lose to Bush in 2000? Wouldn't it stand to reason that he is in fact worse than Bush?

ok, and one more thing re: Sarah Palin. Last night McCain spoke of 'special needs' children. First, her son has Downs Syndrome, not autism. Second, how old is her newly born son: 4 or 5 months, and this now qualifies her to 'know better than anyone' what it's like to have a special needs child. How incredibly insulting to women who have spent their entire lives raising a special needs child. Plus, wasn't Sarah who cut spending for Special Olympics in Alaska shortly before giving birth?

Next, what about the house the contractors built for her? Aren't they the same contractors who built the large arena in the small town of Wasilla? How was that arena funded? Was it funded by earmarks? The same 'earmarks' that she says is against?

And last, what part of "abuse of power and ethics" does Sarah not understand?

Enough! Why don't you take the other maverick with you when you head back to Alaska? After listening to McCain's comments on abortion and the "health" issue of women, I am sickened by the both of you!

whats the difference between Sarah Pallin and George Bush????

lipstick!!!!!!

Not only is she under-educated, she's also unable to string together a grammatical sentence. Time to return to arrange her daughter's wedding before the December baby.
Sick & Tired in Texas

Oh, Caribou Barbie, you may not want to go home once you read the press you've been getting in your own Alaska papers...you can read right? Abuse of power and it looks like more charges are to be unveiled. When you have no substance, no intelligence or anything worth listening to, the lipstick starts to fade pretty fast. Your ticket is filled with lies and negativity. The next time you want to mention Ayers why not Google KEATING FIVE and see what your boss was up to. As Clint Eastwood would say, "You ought to shut your face"!!!

Why can't Sarah talk to anyone other than Greta, Hannity, and Rush? Has anyone ever seen a VP candidate get away with this? Is she really so stupid she can't be let out on her own without note cards? And if so, what are you doing to us, John McCain? Is this what you mean by Country First, putting us (and U.S.) in jeopardy like this?

McCain and Palin will never carry Maine; We've got too much of a love for integrity, honesty, democracy, and those other sweet little somethings that matter in a candidate. The Republican ticket is a joke.

We need a spirit filled president

I really don't understand why so many of you are so vicious in your attacks. What has this woman done to deserve so much hate? Nothing but represent certain values that many Americans believe in. Shame on the CNN moderators for allowing such hate filled rants to be posted on this blog, and for allowing what should be a civil discussion of politics to degenerate into a partisan Palin bashing forum.

My counter to McCain's "if you wanted to run against George Bush you should of four years ago" is that 8 years ago, there were honorable candidates running for president, including John McCain. This is when he had his legacy in tact and was a true "Maverick".Ever since he sold his soul to the Devil and decided to espouse everything Bush to solidify the conservative base, he has not only lost the election, but he has also lost his good name.

Sarah is so refreshing to hear. She is an intelligent person who will make a fantastic VP come this January. I fully support Sarah and her great addition to a great American ticket.

I would be ok if MCCain won if she was not attached to him. She rather win an election than do what's best for her party and the country by stepping down.

The saying, "As goes Maine, so goes the nation" turned out to be WRONG. I believe it stems from 1940, when Maine voted for the Republican Wendell Wilkie. Gov. Palin, if you don't know, Franklin Roosevelt won that presidential election and the one after it.

Sarah, please tell us the one about how pleased you are that Branchflower's report cleared of you of any HINT of an ethics violation!

I LOVE that one! It's really my favorite.

Palin is annoying. I have a hard time listening to her speak. If she is not answering questions with a stump speach that has nothing to do with the question. She is making bogus statements ( lying ) about Obama and Biden. People have to really question how in the world did this idiot get chosen to possibly be our next President. How she even become mayor or govenvor. Did she run against some one that was as dumb as the moose that she likes to shoot.

Oh Sarah! IT'S TIME YOU "SHUT UP". Did you not realize that Obama did not even comment about you??? You don't even deserve a minute worth of argument. If you are a MAVERICK, give interviews to the media...and not just speak things you memorized the night before the campaigns.

What kinda integrity & work ethics do you have to talk about Obama? GO BACK TO ALASKA. We cannot afford a VP someone as DUMB as you.

I have been so relieved to see Joe W and Sarah Palin . Reading these comments posted can make anyone lose faith in the people around us . But there are people who do not talk the way these people comment talk and really live a hard working , good life . Today is a good day to be Republican .

I would love to put a sock in that airhead's mouth !!!

I can't wait until 19 days from now and Obama is in the White House and Sarah Palin gets sent back to Alaska and we don't have to look at her or listen to her ever again. When she speaks spears go through my eyeballs.

Obama/Biden 2008

Sorry Para Salin. You lose!
Actually I am not sorry at all, very happy if McCain & Para Salin lose!

can you believe s. palin. this is country first?

Gov.,

I don't think you want people to look solely to the future. Because if they imagine McCain winning and you possibly becoming President, they will all run screaming into the night and vote for Obama as many times as they can.

I hope she realizes that she is in the North East section of the US and not the North West as she said while campainging yesterday in New Hampshire! Unless New Hampshire moved recently.

So, let me know if you've heard this one. Sarah Palin walks into a bar - and everyone leaves.

With Palin, I am reminded of "Baghdad Bob" There are no tanks in Baghdad”

Instead we have Palin saying “McCain did great in the debates and we are going to win!”

If McCain had picked Olympia Snowe or Susan Collins, he'd probably be winning. At the very least he'd be a lot closer.

I just thought I would take a trek over to CNN to see what was going on. I am strong republican and normally hang out with the Fox gang. Hang on, don't get mad at me yet. I am not here for anything but to make a comment. Don't you think it's kind of funny how strong our feelings are for the ones we like? You guys really like Obama, Biden. I really like McCain, Palin. My best friend is for Obama. She and I laugh about how neither can believe the other likes the ones that we do. It's okay with her that I like McCain and it's fine with me that she likes Obama. We still remain the best of friends. That's the good thing about America. Either way, no matter who wins, America will still be the best. May the best team win!! Thanks!

Wow! I am ashamed of you all! What kind of people are you who put down others....if this is what Obama has as supporters...I am VERY gald I am NOT one of them!
Perhaps you all should research more instead of listening to the media who's only way to make money these days is to promote "negativity" because that is what apparently sells....and now I can see who it actually sells too! Seems to me you don't deserve the freedoms you have that have been bought with American blood so you can talk like this! Perhaps a look in the way of what the Democratic congress has done to majorly contribute to the decline in the last 2 years of our enonomy and other major faulty decisions that have been made!

You all need to act like people....AMERICAN PEOPLE....not the people who are uncivilized and discriminatory towards successful women!!

With Palin, I am reminded of "Baghdad Bob" There are no tanks in Baghdad”

Instead we have Palin saying “McCain did great in the debates and we are going to win!”

I could be vp. I've been to Europe 7 times and I can see Waukesha from my front porch@

Oh Magoo, you've done it again!

Well what was she gonna do, criticize it?
"I may be John McCain's running mate, but man, that guy has no idea how to debate!"

Isn't it hilarious how partisan viewpoints have influence that trumps common sense? NBC and CNN have Obama winning by around 20 points. Faux News, however, has McCain winning at 87%! No wonder Palin thinks he won. Thank goodness, we now have a clear winner, and this seemingly endless campaign will finally be over, but thank you, Sarah Palin, for being the final nail in the McCain campaign coffin.

McCain is more than a maverick, he is a lost soul. His greed and ambition have driven him to the point where he no longer has any since of decency. His campaign is totally ego driven and is filled with messages of hatred, insensitivity, anger and spite. This is not a stable man as evidenced by his eratic and disconnected campaign. He is nothing more than a pathetic symbol of a failed system.

Believe me or not but Pres. Bush had his eye on Iraq when he first took office because Iraq tried to kill his father when he was president. Now, Sen. John McCain has his eyes on Iran if he takes office. You can tell when he talks about foreign policies how much he dislikes Iran. Vote for him (Sen. McCain) if you want but…we will be fighting everybody before it is over with. Plus, Sarah Palin, Sarah Palin, Sarah Palin with her experience will say the wrong thing in office to the wrong country and BOOM, war again. She speaks at these rallies and gets nothing right in her own country. She was speaking in the northeast and called it the northwest..people from other countries are very sensitive. So, yes vote for the McCain/Palin ticket and you will have contributed to the destruction of these United States. On-The-Job-Training is what Sarah Palin represents, which she ignores any advice and does it her way. SHE IS UNTRAINABLE. I know this won’t get posted as with my other posts, but at least I stated my views.

Here is a woman who has made a difference in the lives of people she touches. She wanted to make life better for herself and her fellow citizens. So she became a mayor and then took on her own party to become Governor of a state. What have you done with your life? How pathetic you liberals are to attack such a success story.

TOUNGES ARE BEGINNING TO WAG. TURNS OUT GOOD 'OLE "JOETHE PLUMBER" WAS NOTHING MORE THAN A REPUBLICAN PLANT!

LAME JOHN, VERY, VERY LAME! SAY IT AIN'T SO JOE!
—————————————————————–

McCain did Joe the Plumber no favors.
Thu Oct 16, 2:27 PM ET

You knew it would happen. Joe the Plumber's 15 minutes of fame in last night's debate have turned into a round of public humiliation for the wannabe business owner. The Toledo Blade is reporting that Joe has no plumber's license.

To make matters worse, the Blade also found that the Ohio Department of Taxation placed a lien against Joe because $1,183 in personal property taxes had not been paid. To pile on, the paper disclosed, based on divorce records, Joe's 2006 income — $40,000, hardly enough to qualify for the tax hike he's so concerned about.

Does anyone really take this Palin seriously? The intelligent Republican (maybe 1) ought to be ashamed. She is a cartoon character, and SNL should receive awards for their interpertations of this fool. A real disgrace to this country, just for putting her up for review.

I don't like all these mean spirited comments. I'm a democrat, but these comments make me feel like abandoning my party and voting for McCain.

You make me sick, HYPOCRITE! You have been used and not honorable!

Sarah Palin has the looks of Dan Quayle , the evilness of Dick Cheney and the brians of George Bush .... yeap she is their dream gal.

McCain said that Palin was the role model of a woman. HA!!! If you are intelligent women, the comment was a true insult. Palin winks, use cutie words, attack people emotionally, and always asks her hubby for his intellegent advice. She does not know how to speak appropriately. She is doing that to be cute "Hey I am one of you!!" We do not want Joe six-pack to represent the US. Give me a break! She does not represent women. She represents a kind of woman that John McCain likes – after all he left his wife when she lost her figure.
When he chose Palin, the race has ended.

After reading and listening to the results of the Alaska Legislative Council–I think Americans need to open their eyes and understand that voting for McCain/ Palin really means voting for John McCain and TODD Palin.

Todd Palin claims that his wife is Governor and “calls all the shots,” but according to his written testimony, and testimony of the others involved, it seems that Sarah is just the talking head–the front man. Todd is one who is really calling the shots.

Voting for Obama/Biden will get you an intelligent, thoughtful, respected administration. Voting McCain/Palin will get you John and Todd and a talking head.

I'm glad that some people are finally picking up on McCain's stand on " the health of the mother ". This guy is an actual creep. I cannot understand how any woman would even consider voting for him. As for Palin. She is a real nut job. The only thing is, lets not keep saying " send her back to Alaska ". They may refuse to take her if they think we want her to go back. Then we are stuck with her. Maybe Putin will take her to Russia and then she can see Alaska from there.

I really don't care what Palin has to say about anything.

Palin needs to keep talking. She has a "Palin effect", driving sensible voters away.

Palin/Plumber 2012!

Palin is a puppeting, empty-headed bottomless soundbyte of shallow.

And by the way McCain, I'm tire of hearing you refer to Obama's healthcare plan with such untrue information, followed by "if you like what Obama is suggesting, then go to Canada or Europe." Well, you crotchety old man, I have considered moving to Canada or other countries for a number of reasons, and a big one is because of their healthcare. You need to educate yourself on the 21st century, dear old man. And if anyone has watched "Sicko".... (I'm not a fan of Michael Moore's but after seeing that documentary). hey McCain, Cuba has better healthcare than we do!!!!

And Palin.... well, we're losing interest in her altogether. She's nothing she says she is, and everything she says she's not.

Here is the scoop on Joe the Plumber:

Turns out that Joe Wurzelbacher from the Toledo event is a close relative of Robert Wurzelbacher of Milford, Ohio. Who’s Robert Wurzelbacher? Only Charles Keating’s son-in-law and the former senior vice president of American Continental, the parent company of the infamous Lincoln Savings and Loan.

Above is a direct copy and paste from Google. You would've thought McCain would stay away from the Keating 5 scandal

Yesterday in New Hamspshire, this lady said it's good to be in the Northwest. I mean really.

Sarah just put a zip on it........no one cares what you have to say about McCain and how wonderful he was......I do hope you put him straight
about your child not having Autism and having Downs Syndrome!!!
Yes, he sure knows a lot about our Sarah......still, I don't think she minds as is so power hungary, she'll endure anything even an incorrect term about her own child!!!!
It's a case with both of them that they are willing to say and do anything no matter who it involves as long as they can get the votes
in anyway possible.

This woman makes me want to vomit.

McCain is Bush's TWIN ....I Remember Bush Getting Angry @The press Several Times .......McCain is Bitter And Ugly ......Is Rick Davis your Son sure look Alike same UGLY

Palin should focus on places like North Carolina, Georgia, and Kentucky where Repugnicans have a chance of winning.

According to Biden, "Jobs" is a 3 letter word.

Wake up America: McCain's and Palin's campaign are run and written by lobbiests who will give us policies that = a 3rd Bush term.

Keep in mind: World War II was four years and Patriotic people rationed and bought war bonds – taxes went up to invest in infrastructure and support troops – later the GI Bill. How can we run a 8 year war without asking for sacrifice, including a public responsibility to invest in our children's future? If we don't invest/and pay with taxes/ the U.S. will become a 2nd rate country.

There is no system to give "real" valuation to uncollateralize, over-valued loans while an economy is in freefall. Why does McCain want to reward the banks and double the debt burden on the Public. TAX the CORPORATIONS and the ULTRA-RICH and invest in our country's future... Infrastructure and Green Technologies are there to bring back JOBS.

Just because he [she] says it, doesn't make it right. S. Palin – So, if she says it, it IS RIGHT??? Give me a break, plain-speaking Sarah: all you spew is vitrol and rubbish (wink, nod, smile).

That is because he actually answered a question somewhat intelligently, unlike her.

If a half witted pathalogical liar praises your desperate efforts then its probably not really a good thing.

How is this woman an "expert on autism" when her baby has Down's Syndrome? Last time I checked, autism & DS are two different neurological issues.....

Hmmmm....I wonder if Bristol recovered from those injuries suffered when her mother threw her under the bus? Get well soon!

Is that drool on her chin?

Palin keeps claiming victory in VietNam and McCain knows how to win a war.

Hello .... We didnt win in Viet Nam and like Iraq, we had no reason to be there.

Wow! She is serious! Give up on the "Maverick" line lady, nobody is listening anymore. You and John McSame are washed up!

Joe the Plumber, Joe Six Pack. What's next...Joe Blow...like in Blow out Election! McCain backers are going in hiding. No one wants to be with a loser. Sarah go back to the igloo you came out of. You really are a mindless wonder. You like to utter from your script those digs, but you don't have the brains to talk with the media. One day you will figure out McCain picked you because of your sex appeal not your mind appeal. Ah, gee, shucks, really?

Uh huh. Every place reminds Palin of home. in Ohio she said that they remind her of home because they shoot Coyote's and Palin slaughters Rare Alaska Wolves with Helicopter Gunships. I wonder what Florida reminds her of? Perhaps that her running mate should retire?

Not Hillary lives in an alternate reality

"Look to the past" ? Kind of like you do at every rally when you bring up Ayers? What a brainless hypocrite!

You Vile woman! You are the reason McCain is losing.

I love how you say Obama wants to live in the past, when it's your campaign that is built entirely on the past with going back to Ayers and all of the Repubican talking points that you barf up.

Then McCain thinks your a role model? Well he's the only one, because for this voter~ YOU ARE NO ROLE MODEL TO ME OR MY FAMILY...
With your unwed teenage pregnant daughter.
The fact that you leave your special needs child to run off campaigning all ove the country for your own ambitions.
You make me sick Sarah Palin!
And you are bigot!

There are parts of Maine where you can see Canada.
This clearly enhances her foreign policy credentials.

What does anyone seriously expect her to say?

her canned "talking points" are soooo tired – thank God only 19 more days.

bye bye Sarah...

As much as the Republican National campaign and pundits are shoving it down the potential voters's throats that it is, Sarah Palin's image isn't sticking with people. Think about it, a new poll printed in the Minnesota Star Tribune shows John McCain and Barack Obama are in a dead heat with North Dakota voters. If North Dakotians are not buying this whole "Hockey Mom"-stuff, who will?

McCain lost this election because of her – Please make her stop!

I think shes toast in being the VP, but also when you returns to Alaska. Her own people are growing in numbers against her. We will soon hear of impeachment procedures being brought against her also. Sarah was never ready for this. She was brought in as a tool for the Republican Party. Palin is very motivated, to suceed any way she can. Her desire for power knows no bounds. You can't really blame her, we all would, its just some of her ethics leave enough to be desired. She was just a pawn for the very people who wished to remain in power. This is why John McCain failed. He allowed Bush's own people to run his campaign. Big mistake John.

No one mention it. In yesterday debate, Senator Obama made an excellent point. If we invest now in healthcare, escpecially in preventive care, we will see the savings and benefits in the future. Where do we rank in Healthcare as a Nation?? l also, did not understand why is it such a bad idea that a lot of small private businesses get the same collective insurance benefits that both candidates get in congress. l am sure that senator McCain loves his health insurance coverage. l will take care of you my friends....

When all those Americans who attend the Palin rallies realize who this woman really is and who her husband is, they are going to feel hurt and betrayed. Joe the plumber is right – ask questions.

The Republicans on counting on people who do not read or use the internet. This betrayal is worse than anything George Bush could have ever done like mortgaging our country to China to fight somebody else's civil war.

The truth will come out and then what will McCain say to all those people that he is betraying? The truth is McCain thinks his base is stupid. What does he care, but he should especially if he gets elected.

sarah you are such a loser, did you read the European press on you? I would go back to my safe haven and try and let the world forget about what a joke you have been made off, do you really think you were going to be VP . PS larry Hustler may have ajob for you

Of all of the women that McCain could choose from, how in the world did he come up with this woman? From a woman in my early fifties, I would like to tell mr.McCain that not all women are stupid. I have a feeling you are about to find out how really smart we really are!!!!!!!!

If lying Sarah says join did well last night that is about as credible as everything else she says. She would not see truth if it bit her on the butt.
Please go home Sarah and take care of you ethics violation and your kids.
BYE BYE Sarah and don't let the door hit you on your way out.

Of course Palin was happy with her political patron. Would anyone expect anything different. Of course, she, like McCain, would criminalize those who choose to have or to administer abortions, regardless of the mother's health. She remains a dangerous extremist.

What are the delusional reptilians and McCrypt wetting his Depends about with A.C.O.R.N and voter registration(it is not voter fraud until a voter votes using a invalid register on11/4)?

They sound like this is going to be close enough to come down to one state. The reptiles have to sweep all the toss-ups AND take VA back. All That One has to do is to hang on to the one's in his column of 277 and anything from 10/15/2008 on is just gravy and shores up his mandate order! Say it is so, Joe!

Game Over? You betcha’!

Gosh golly gee whilikers! It's so wonderful to be here stirring up all you fine Americans with code words I'm sure you've all heard on fair and balanced teevee where we learned all about connections to terrorists and 2 missing years and everything that I was talking so hard about I didn't know some of Putin's buddies showed up on our doorstep tlaking about our new pipeline that hasn't been built yet but that we all prayed for because drilling is the way to bring forth the Jesus juice that sustains us through times of trials like I'm going to experience when I get back to Alaska! Thank you, Maniacs! Good-night! I luv ya!

Lots of rhetoric...no substance!

Hasn't she packed her bags & her husband & her kids yet? Back to Alaska where hopefully she will stay. After Nov. 4th, we shouldn't have to hear her voice or her name. I am counting the days when we can go back to when she was an unknown. This dribble of "I can see" has gotten so boring...give it a rest already. GO HOME>

I feel bad for Sarah Palin. She's being used.

Praise from Sarah Pailn: is that a good thing or a bad thing?

I laughed heartily last night when McCain said that he thought Sarah Palin was a role model for all women. Not in our house. My three daughters are way more intelligent and know a barracuda when they see one. Go hoe to Alaska.

I live in Washington state. I guess according to the barbie doll, I live in the great Atlantic Northeast!

I...USE...ELLIPSES...BECAUSE...I'M....IGNORANT...AND...SLOW...

Does Palin have any clue where she is? Yesterday she identified New Hampshire as being in the NORTHWEST.

In a few weeks, this airbrain will be history.

I honestly do not think that Sara was paying any attention to this election at all until she was asked to be the running mate.Last night I seen once again an angry frustrateded man in Mcain.I almost felt sorry for him.....Just a note to the powers of CNN ,try to find some stonger supporters of Obama on show like Larry King etc the ex Hilary supporters are too weak against the Mcain people like Lanny Davis
couldn't shut him up when he talked about Clinton thats not fair for the Obama side.

Does she think Maine is also in the Northwest? What an idiot she is.

LET'S FACE IT, WE ALL KNOW PALIN IS AN IDIOT>

so you can really draw the lines between a good debate performance and a bad one. how would ou rate yours....i'm curious.

She can forget it. Maine will be blue.

So McCain and Palin both think he won last night's debate. (Watch McCain at the end of the debate when he stands up–he is exultant.)

What I find interesting is that in the run up to the debate, the GOP kept talking about what a "brilliant speaker" and "brilliant debater" Obama is. Obama is not. I think this was an effort by the GOP to lower the bar for McCain's debate performance in the third debate just like they lowered the bar for Palin's performance in her VP debate. Makes it easier to claim victory when the bar is lowered for your candidate and raised higher for the opponent.

Lets give her some credit guys. She presents a sense of optimism. The idea that anyone can be on a presidential ticket; really, ANYONE!

the nerves of this CROOK! I can't wait until i get to say avita-bye-bye to you.

"As Putin rears his head and comes into the airspace of the United States"
Palin the "Maverick" grabs her shotgun....If she and McCain begin the steep downward spiral in the polls....as they will.......The rich and powerful may very likely create a major international military incident.....To allow John McCain to come to the rescue..........

Caribou Barbie praising McBush–and this is important because...?

Anyone else wondering?

How can Palin be an expert in autism by virtue of yhe youngest son as McCain stated twice last night? Her son has Downs Syndrome....

Hummm....I wonder...can McFaillin see Russia from Maine?

That One 08

It's almost over folks.

It is not just being a female, but you need to be smart as well. Unfortunately, Palin is missing the second ingridient. She will have a hard time governing Alaska going forward with so much of her ignorance revealed nationally. Kudos go to McCain and his campaign to stop this so called rising star in Republican party. Republicans got away by putting forward candidates that are not qualified to govern just to push their agenda. PARTY IS OVER.

I guess she didn't notice that McCain came across as a scary, angry, and desperate old man. And, the thought of Palin being Vice president is even scarier and more dangerous. Take your place in History Barack!

Yes, she is in Maine, and I would love to see her back in Alaska, in the cold, dark area she lives an belongs, and she wave to her so-called friends in Russia she sees from her window...and did she watch the debate with sound off?

Alaska.....we're soory but you gotta take her back!

mccain did not defined this man and woman, Gen. John Abizaid,ia am arab man .. the top U.S. commander in iraq.. mccan did not go far enough to reject hate.. …
As American Service Men and Women, they have taken the oath to protect and defend the Constitution of the United States of America against all enemies foreign and domestic. They are prepared to sacrifice their lives for the protection of freedom for all Americans.

God Bless America

TRUE Americans for MCCAIN!! October 16th, 2008 1:04 pm ET

»SARAH PALIN=So Beautiful!So Lovely!So Interesting!So SMART!=Our next Vice-President. YES.The Americans are NOT dumb.
======================================================

Not sure what to make of this, but either way, it's not funny, just plain scary.

Don't compare me to you're narrow-minded kin Sarah. You're about as far from Alaska as you could possibly be both geographically and philosophically.

Guys, dont be so hard on Sarah. She is not a bad person. It is just that I am from a small country in Central America called Belize and I probably know more about the United States economy than she does. So if you are mad because what she says does not seem to make sense; it is not because she is a bad person, it is just because she has no clue when it comes to economics or foreign policy!

Sarah Palin should run for the Governor of the State of Denial.

I noticed during the debate when asked about his VP, McCain went on to talk about Palin being a reformer and able to balance the budget. In Palin's time in Alaska, she made rape victims pay for their own rape examinations due to budget concerns but she thought it was okay to build a hockey complex. Wait a minute... It was more important to have a hockey complex.

go home you lieing alaskin sooo called govenor. IM SICK OF YOU AND MCBUSHES LIES GOOD BY

THINK IT WOULD BE A BIT BETTER IF OBAMA WINS THE PRESIDENCY BUT NOT MUCH BECAUSE HE'S STILL AN "INEXPERIENCED BOY", MCGRAMPA MIGHT RUIN THINGS MORE THAN THEY ARE, STILL, DAMAGE IS DONE, MARKETS ARE ON THE BASEMENT AGAIN

I wouldn't get too home sick, you'll be back there in under three weeks. You'll never carry Maine.

I noticed last night that CNN was desperately trying to spin the debate that McCain "broke through, had his best performance, Obama was flat". COME ON CNN! We all know how you desperately want this to be a big, dramatic close race so you get higher ratings. CNN was even trying to spin against their own polls. King, Crowley, and the other republican strategist were in shock and disbelief of the people thought. Especially John King. So do us all a favor CNN, and just report the news and stop trying to make up peoples minds. Please stop trying to create a close race when its not, just so you can get higher ratings.

What in the world is Palin doing up in Maine that's not even a battle ground state! I think she's a bit confused she called it the Great NorthWest! McCain has done himself and the people of America such a disservice by appointing Ms. Palin as his V.P. She has turned this mans campaign into another bunch of Rove antics! She will never see the Oval office!
E.J. in Tacoma

Another communication from Planet Palin.

Frankly, I think Mccain should wipe her lipstick off, put a muzzle on her and send her back from hence she came... I am a woman, and I think she has the most irritating and annoying voices I have ever heard. She sounds like a CHIHUAHUA...SHE AND ALL THE OTHER HOCKEY MOMS CAN TAKE A LEAP, THEY WOULD NOT BE MISSED MAYBE SHE SHOULD STAY HOME AND KEEP HER EYES ON THE YOUNGER DAUGHTER (S)

I heard her, reluctantly, this morning, and must say; she says absoultely nothing in those speeches.

... any of the three other ladies mentioned would have been such a better choice than Palin ...

the more these hypocritical democrats spew their vile hatred, the more her appeal grows. democrats are making a superstar out of Sarah

I wonder if Palin knows the meaning of "pander"? Can't wait until the next time she shows up for a political rally in southern California. The first thing she will say is, "Hey Dude, this place is like really cool". You betcha.

SARAH PALIN=So Beautiful!So Lovely!So Interesting!So SMART!=

Since when does one being beautiful, lovely, and interesting qualify you for VP?? I'm beautiful, lovely, and interesting. I should run for VP!!

Has anyone notice when CNN and Fox carry Palin and McCain's speeches the stock market falls and when Obama spoke on his economic plan the market went up 600 points (that was the best day the market had in a week).

EUROPE MOCKS "HALF BAKED ALASKAN" PALIN

Europeans are appalled at the thought that someone who wants to be vice president of the most powerful nation on earth had so little interest in the rest of a world which is so vitally affected by the decisions of the man, or woman, in the White House.

And they are not much impressed by explanations that her parents did not have the money to send her on a fact-finding tour of the world as a student. Anybody with the money to own an SUV, hunt moose and drive a snowmobile has the money to travel. It was the American Mark Twain who reminded us all that "travel is fatal to prejudice, bigotry and narrow-mindedness." If Sarah Palin wanted to be loved in Europe she should have got about a bit.

This sums it up in a nut shell.

I'm sure she's still encouraging the folks at her rallies to yell atrocious, racist and threatening things. Interesting, wasn't it, last night how McCain didn't repudiate people at rallies yelling TERRORIST and KILL HIM!!!!!!!!!! According to McCain these are good ol' honorable folks. Shameful, shameful and also heaven help us if McCain is sitting next to a foreign head of state blinking/sighing/eye-rolling/interrupting. How UN Presidential he was last night. GO O and JOE 08!!!

Interesting that the "M" word ("maverick") is back after a notable absence last night. I had really hoped that the McCain campaign had decided to permanently retire it - it's such a totally meaningless bit of political rhetoric. The last quality I would want in a President is an inability to compromise or to get along well with others. That's not going to get us out of this crisis. Perhaps Sarah didn't get the memo, or hasn't bothered to read it yet...

Sara why don't you tell the American people how John McCain Fundraiser partner is being sued for Iraq fuel deal. Yes your fundraiser out of Floria who is suppling oil to the troops by way of Jordan. McCain has friends with dirty hands now and it is with the war in Iraq. Tell us more about that Palin.

Isnt hunting season??
Go back to Alaska.....

McCain/Palin '08
no one man will fix the economy. however, one man will be able to keep us safe while his administration works to do so. that man is John McCAin.

Has she read what the European press said about her? She's a half baked Alaskan. If she does read at all and see this she'll most likely blame the democrats for doing this. To me she seems like a single A pitcher pitching the 7th game of a World Series. SHE DOESN'T BELONG.

Guy October 16th, 2008 12:59 pm ET

She's so yesterday's news… Can we move on to the team that will make the next administration? Obama and Biden will be voted in November 4th and this one will never be anything else.

******

Unfortunately, she is not yet yesterday's news.

We need to keep the absolutely devastating concept of a McCain/Palin win and the potential of a Palin presidency front and center until we defeat them on November 4.

As Obama says we can't get too complacent, we need to fight until the votes are counted.

I cannot wait until election night when I watch this power hungry idiot lose the election! Do VP candidates give concession speeches? That sure would be a sight to see!

Forget these Obama losers everyone, let's help John McCain be our next President. He is a TRUE AMERICAN! Don't even read these rude Obama socialist remarks. Let themselves grovel in their own hatred! Go John McCain! Go Sarah Palin!

Has she figured out she's in the Northeast, not the Northwest, yet?

If McCain loses to Obama, I would not at all be surprised if Palin fails to get reelected Governor of Alaska. She has become McCain's useful idiot and it will cost her dearly.

The only thing Palin is going to shatter is her own ambitions. On Nov 5th everything is going to come crashing down around her and McDisgust

Are you kidding me? how was he the winner? oh I get it just like you wasn't found not guilty of etics violations in Alaska right? even if it's there in writing. Wou doesn't that say something about this campain? that you can lie to people with out any reservation? Does she think all of us a stupid or blind and deaf?

Man I wish Sara Palin was a dude so that Joe could've ripped into her at the debate. Although he won, I wanted him to send her home in tears.

OBAMA/BIDEN 08

Am I the only one to notice that in McCain's reference to Sarah Palin's youngest child, he referred to the special need as being "Autism", and went on to say how he would see that funds were directed toward research for autism should he become Prsident. Correct me if I am wrong, but Sarah Palin's youngest child suffers from Down's Syndrome, not Autism. This IMO shows how very little McCain really knows about Sarah Palin. The statement about research money directed to Autism (by McCain) was made following McCain's spiel on "freezing spending".

So, if Obama had referenced race the way she referenced gender, we would have called that playing the race card. Why doesn't she ever get called on playing the gender card? If McCain had to take the white house, I would prefer George.

Shove it, Sarah, and go back where you came from!

BY GOING TO SEVERAL DIFFERENT COLLEGES IN FIVE YEARS IN ORDER TO GRADUATE. SARHA IS USE TO BEING GRADED ON THE CURVE.
THERE IS NO GRADEING ON THE CURVE IN A DEBATE! IT IS EITHER YOU WIN OR LOOSE, AND YOUR BOY LOST BIG, AND I DO MEAN BIG.

If he had picked Huckabee he'd be ahead in the polls right now. He wouldn't have gotten that 10 point bump from the convention, but he's be ahead right now.

Jerry Well, Barry can't land a jet on an aircraft carrier in the middle of the night. Let's get civilized.

Jerry- I'd be willing to bet that McCain can't do it any longer either.
Now that you mention it, he wasn't that good at landing when he was flying. And by the way, Alaska has fewer people than many US cities.

She is not my role model.

CNN "instant polls" after debate were ridiculous. In one of the questions, people gave Obama 80% supoort vs. 7% for McCain. With a pool of 40% Dem., 30% GOP and 30% Independents, that would mean Obama received 100% support from democrats and independents, and 33% from Republicans. Can anyone with some intelligence believe these numbers? Even John King last night questioned the accuracy of this poll.

In addition, the whole facial expression thing is also ridiculous. Can we talk about substances and what the two candidates offer instead of how a candidate looks on national TV? Even Dana Bash admits that John MCain looks that way in his town hall meeting. It is just what John McCain looks like naturally. People thought George W. Bush won the debates in 2000 because of his cool character, smiling face etc... and look what he has done for the past eight years.

What??? Wow it's more then strange that even when they are shown the info they see something different? I mean the pools come out Obama wins in all of them and she says... Palin sounded a note of triumph!

Listen Hockey Mom, Wednesday’s presidential debate your guy lost. What does it take for them to tell the truth?

Yes John McCai, told Barack Obama last night that he is not George Bush. Despite voting with him 90% of the time!

Truth is with that kind of record Obama is running against the current administration in you too.

What's more then past starting to wear very very thin, are the lies the McCain / Palin ticket are saying.
It's clear that America knows that John McCain is not the man for this job!!

He use to be a maverick, But is just an old man out of touch now.

Hey Sarah! I have a job for you after you are done here. Camp out on your freezing alaskan shore and keep an eye on Putin. Let us know if he starts coming in for an air strike."

Today Show: We extended an invitation to Sarah Palin to speak with us today about the debate...she declined.

Where is sarah palin. who is sarah palin. this is unprecedented that mccain won't let her meet with the mean press.

Moderator: is sarah palin ready to be president?
John McCain: she's a soccer mom. she has a nice hairdo.

Sarah, Sarah, Oh Sarah, please, please learn your history! You need to just stop it. Why run a campaign on what you think "they want to hear"

Such anger and contempt from McCain. Same from Palin during her stumping. No wonder she's proud. More of the same venom from the clueless Right.

....I also figured out whose mugging and weird gestures and wild looks and mysogyny and pretending to be the victim crap from McCain last night reminds me of......and no I'm not kidding: OJ SIMPSON.

"Free Sarah Palin". Either let her talk to the mainstream media like a candidate for nation's second highest office is supposed to OR free her and let her get back to the alaskan wilderness...
Spewing a prepared stump speech in front of your gun toting, racist supporters to get them all riled up is pointless. They already support you.

----palin lies like there is no tomorrow----

do u wanna another liar in our W.H????

To those willing to be a voice for those who have none (Babies in the womb)
I am voting for John Mc Cain and Sarah Palin because they support protecting babies growing in their mother's wombs. That is an absolute that cannot be sweet-talked away.

Please she needs to go home to her pregnant daughter her special needs baby and her 2 underage girls. McSane did horrible in the debate, as usual he was himself and old grumpy mean out of touch senior. He needs to retire and she needs to get back to the redneck things of home..............

Samuel Joseph Wurzelbacker or aka "Joe the Plumber, is hardly an "UNDECIDED" voter. It has been found out that Joe the Plumber's father is a big donor to the GOP, and is the son in law to Charles Keating!! LOL!! Joe the Plumber's father even worked at Lincoln Savings and Loan, when all h*ll broke loose with Keating!!!

I don't know what Palin is smoking! While McCain did better than the previous two debates he again lost. Throughout the debate he came across as a very tired, bitter, old and angry man.

His campaign managers should be fired for the way they are handling his campaign. Let's address issues and stop the negative attacks on Obama. I want to know how we'll deal with this economic meltdown. How will we protect social security. What about a plan for healthcare. How do we rebuild our creditability with the rest of the world. Right now the rest of the world thinks McCain's pick of Palin is joke. We're the laughing stock of the world.

KEEP DREAMIN' HONEY!!

"What Does Your Political Future Look Like?"........ "Good Question, Let me ask someone, and I'll get back atcha!!"

Time for Palin to answer some hard questions...

Who is Sarah Palin? Related to her own question that has been asked numerous times "Who is Barack Obama?".

Can you explain your husband's membership to and your relationship with the Alaskan Independence Party?

Many Americans do think that it's patriotic to pay our taxes. Can you explain why your per diem payments from the State of Alaska were not included in your tax returns? Can you explain why you charged the citizens of Alaska a per diem for nights spent in your own home?

Will there be more income tax returns forthcoming?

The report delivered last Friday specifically said that you violated Alaska's ethics code. Can you comment on that?

McCain was strong on the economy, taxes and the Columbian issue which Obama was like a deer in the headlights to last night. Voting day will be the real poll. It comes down to paying more taxes with one and none with the other. I have to laugh at Obama for preaching to parents about putting video games away when he just came out with 3 of himself just yesterday. Will the real Obama please stand up because there are so many layers to this guy that are peeling off in the last week or so.

She's ridiculous. Does she understand that saying things over and over again doesn't make them true?

"Sarah Palin was found to have abused her power with this firing." -investigative panel

THE NEXT DAY:
Palin: "Sir, if you read the report, you'll see that I was cleared of any wrongdoing, legally and ethically."

WHAT???

And McCain last night, says you'll be fined if you don't use Obama's healthcare plan. So Obama clearly states that you won't be, and the next words our of McCain's mouth are "...so if you want to be fined, take Obamas plan."

DO THESE PEOPLE UNDERSTAND THAT SAYING THINGS NUMEROUS TIMES DOES NOT INSTANTLY MAKE THEM TRUE?!?!

Do you think that McCain will roll his eyes or laugh or sigh when he negotiating with another world leader? Or for that manner lose his temper.What a ' HOT HEAD'.Palin has NOTHING. GO BAMA/BIDEN

Yeah Right!!!

Palin needs to sit down and read Margaret Chase Smith's Declaration of Conscience speech. She should read it and reflect upon how her rhetoric at the rallies lately has been dangerously inciting some of the fears and frustrations felt by Americans. During the McCarthy era Smith gave her speech to warn that leadership needed not to incite, but quell American's fears and frustrations, because not doing so would result in national suicide. Smith also warned of the harm created by "irresponsible words of bitterness and selfish political opprotunism." She also stated that "The American people are sick and tired of being afraid to speak their minds lest they be politically smeared as "Communists" or "Fascists" by their opponents." Sound familiar Palin, you are guilty of doing what Smith spoke out against. Don't invoke the memory of women whom you have no understanding of and of women whom you do not pale in comparison to.

....you still think it was a good idea to do this VP thingy??

I guess she didn't see the ad that turned that line against McCain....she's so precious.

Oh Sarah.....just GO HOME!!!!!!

MAVERICK, MOOSE, HOCKEY MOMS............

CHANGE THE REOCRD SARAH!

A tube of lipstick, a cold six-pack, a cloak of lies – and now we've added steel-toed boots to the Sarah Palin ensemble. Show her to the runway...to nowhere.

SOMEONE PUH-LEEZE PUT A MUZZLE ON THIS PITT BULL BEFORE SHE BITES HER OWN MASTER AGAIN!!

SOMEONE PUH-LEEZE PUT A MUZZLE ON THIS PITT BULL BEFORE SHE BITES HER OWN MASTER AGAIN!!

SOMEONE PUH-LEEZE PUT A MUZZLE ON THIS PITT BULL BEFORE SHE BITES HER OWN MASTER AGAIN!!

SOMEONE PUH-LEEZE PUT A MUZZLE ON THIS PITT BULL BEFORE SHE BITES HER OWN MASTER AGAIN!!

SOMEONE PUH-LEEZE PUT A MUZZLE ON THIS PITT BULL BEFORE SHE BITES HER OWN MASTER AGAIN!!

BUSH GOT HELP FROM THE VOTING MACHINES...

OBAMA IS GETTING HELP FROM " ACORN "....

Thats the truth.

McCain / Palin 08.

Mr McCain wants to expand the same failed Bush policies

He certainly served our nation with honor during war, but nowadays, when it comes to do the right things for our people, he is simply wrong.

Now, it is our time to make a difference, it is our chance to improve our lives

Let us vote for

Obama-Biden 08
Yes they will!!!

My only question is how long is the MSM going to go without questioning Sarah Palin and her husband about the AIP or her ethics violation case. I mean isn't it relevant that people wanting to occupy the White House up until a month ago wanted to not be apart of America and now are out at campaign rallies questioning someone else's patriotism?

A recent Gallup Poll has Obama's lead down to two percentage points. Perhaps the reports of McCain's demise have been premature.

You know how the old man has a way of coming back from the dead.

Sarah's doing a rally at Elon University here in NC right now. I wish I was there to see her. Great woman.
GO SARAH!!!

Who cares. You are too incompitant to run for the job.

Was she praising McCain's obvious disdain for Obama?

Like Obama said not let's get "cocky" lets turnout in record numbers on Nov 4th to support or next President, President Obama.

Give me a break.

What do you expect him to do, trash her???

He knows he made a colossal choice by choosing that imbecile, but TOO LATE NOW!

HEY Palin,

Instead of trying to go after the BLUE STATES, you might want to focus on the 3 reds one you are most certainly going to loose.

buh-bye

Hell-I'll drive her back personally!!!!!!!!!! or maybe she can moose her way back to alaska.

As for why women and young women should be nervous-they want less government -but they want government to force you into having a baby

Well, I don't want anybody telling me what to do with my body-Too many kids are been killed raped and kidnapped in this country. If casey's mother had an abortion-this girl would not have ended up decomposing in her mothers trunk-So, for those of you that are pro choice-you then should vote for Obama because we have to promote birth control and abstinence to young adults-education is key.

THINK ABOUT THIS-PALIN SAYS THAT IF YOU ARE A VICTIM OF RAPE OR GOD FORBID EVEN WORSE INCEST-AND IT RESULTS IN PREGNANCE YOU ARE FORCED TO HAVE THIS BABY-BULL-I DON'T WANT ANY PART OF THAT-ITS SICK AND TWISTED-MAYBE THATS A NORMAL OCCURRENCE IN ALASKA-GOD HELP US!!!!!!!

I voted via absentee ballot-I've done my part for the first time in my life

I'm 42 White female-

John McCain's disrespect for women was evident in last night's debate. Mocking women who have been put in the untenable position of having to decide between dying and giving birth is horrible.

I don't think she watched the same debate I did...

CNN – quit giving her press time until she starts talking to the mainstream media!

Please send Ms. Clueless back to Alaska. We have had enough of her attacks on Obama. She needs to go back home, so she can keep an eye on Russia and try to handle all of her ethics violations.

As much as abortion IS an important Issue, the reality is it will always be legal regardless of who is in office, so it should not be a determinant in who you vote for. The things that will change and affect people are Economic, health, and educational issues.

Mr. Obama's smug, condescending smiles, did not convince me of anything but that he has an overblown view of himself. However, I will concede he has an attorney's "silver tongue". Unfortunately, his oratorical skills are selling a large number of people a bill of goods. I wish the debates could last for a few hours to really get past Mr. Obama's trite "what America really wants is change" mantra. At best, the debate was superficial. There are too many unanswered questions about Mr. Obama. The little bit we do know about him is troubling.

The trouble is, why does Palin have to be in Maine? Oh, because red states are in trouble!! HA. I've had about enough of this big mouth.

John McCain is another George Bush and Governor Palin is another Cheney so the bottom line is another 4 more years of George Bush awaits us if they are elected.

America - Sarah is DUE anything. She has to EARN her respect just liek everyone else (that is EOE) and as I see it she has done NOTHING to earn ANY respect from ANYONE except those neo-christian/American Taliban people who clinge to their Bibles because they have to have someone TELL THEM how to think, run their life, what is right and what is wrong because THEY CAN'T THINK FOR THEMSELVES!!!!

I'm sure the illustrious women she mentioned, are just cringing and saying to themselves "please don't lump me in with you!!! I worked hard to get where I am!!!"

Ugh, I'm so over this idiot. In the unlikely event that her and Grandpa Munster win, I'm joining Tina Fey and leaving Earth.

She is NOT NOT NOT a role model for THIS woman.
Period.
I do not look up to anyone who looks to incite hatred and fear into the populace.
She is a right wing extremist who would set women back a century.
BTW my husband wears steel toed boots and jeans (not Carhart–can't afford those), and he thinks she's a kook.

Just doin what she was hired ta do. Don't blame poor Sarah. She's supposed to be a Loyal Pit Bull and she's bein just dat! She haz lots a ex per i ence in dat bein an Alaska an all ya know. And she nooos ya dont bit the hand dat feeds ya! specially when yer bein fed much more than ya werked fer! Good Girl Sarah. Good Girl.

Angry McSame and Governor Flailin' should just stick to the issues.

Oh please – like Palin's praise counts for anything.

Praise from a woman who doesn't know where she gets her news, how to keep your teenage daugheter from getting pregnant, has NO understanding of the meaning of ETHICS, can't force an honest statement threw her lips and I'm sure will break Alaska in her ONE AND ONLY term as Governor.

Having a special needs child, being able to field dress a moose, living near Russia – hardly qualificaitons for a VP candiate. By the way your running mate thinks your child has autism. Does he know the difference between Downs Syndrome and autism? Could have fooled me during the debate!

Additionally, most people who are not at the executive level and are earning wages like Joe the plumber are making that much money because of the level of inflation in the area, which means while incomes are higher, so is the cost of living. In southern Connecticut for example many family barely make ends meet on 100K even thought that kind of income can provide a lavish lifestyle in other areas. That is why setting a fixed number to tax at across the entire US does not work.

John McCain went so negative on Joe Biden at the debates and I just love it when Palin opens her mouth and reminds us of the poor judgement John McCain used in picking her. Further, John McCain thinks he's going to get away without being asked about the failure of Silver Bank of Arizona on 2008, he's praying it doesn't come up but it has and it will.

Well, at least she wasn't telling us how much she loves the sound of tiny babies gurgling. I wish someone would explain to me how anyone who claims to be 'pro-life' can also be pro-war. Or perhaps Palin also likes the sound of tiny babies in the ruins of Iraq, gurgling as they drown in their own blood?

Even is he is making a profit of $250K, he is already loosing over 30% of that now. by taxing him further we are saying we allow the government to use take almost half of an individuals income that would otherwise be available to put back into the business which will create jobs, and allow employers to offer better quality of like like insurance to employees, and we are going to redistribute that money how the government sees fit. Marx shared this concept as well, and look how that turned out.

Important message should be " McCAIN IS NOT BUSH"

MCCAIN / PALIN 08.

Palin praises McCain's debate performance in Democratic Maine...

Of course she will praise McCain even if he looks angry in every debate. Hey can you say to your boss you stink in the debate. Of course not or else you will be fired. Anyway come Nov. McCain and Palin will be fired by the American people. YOU'RE FIRED!!!

Except for her base nobody else cares what Palin has to say.
I've never had use for the mute button on my TV control until now.
Voting for Obama/Biden Monday.

Note to Nana – Sure she realizes how her rhetoric incites violence – that's what she's trying to do! I wonder – if any of her followers try to harm Barack Obama – can she be charged as an accessory?

Hey Tulsa, go back and read the transcript. McCain did not say, "health of the mother… that's what the extreme left pro abortion folks always say"

What he actually said, "He's health for the mother. You know, that's been stretched by the pro-abortion movement in America to mean almost anything."

He challenged the DEFINITION of the health of the mother. But don't let the facts get in the way of a good story.

She is clueless. Maine is Obama.

McCain lost me the day he put her on the ticket.

Go back to Alaska, Sarah P.

I can see a picture of the White House,make me President.

Ms. Palin is DELUDED if she actually believes for more than one minute that Mr. McCain won Wednesday night's debate. Pack your bag north to Alaska, Sarah honey!

She's delusional!

Spin, Spin and MORE SPIN!!!!!!!!!!!! I don't know if I should laugh or puke. Of course, I'll give him credit, McCain did have his best performance of the three debates, but he relented toward the end. Hopefully, after all the votes are counted, Palin and the "First Dude" will be heading back home to face the music from the state legislature. Boy, I'd like to see how she gets herself out of that one.

Chris from NC

Sarah you are a loser! You should have turned McPain down with his offer of being his running mate. Go home and continue your folksy life and keep your eye open for Putin, he could be rearing his head at any minute since he knows you are away.

PS. Tell McPain to ask Cindy for some those good old painkillers, he needs to relax. He looked way stressed last night!

I know Sarah Palin doesnt read. Someone tell her that McCain lost. McCains debate performance is NOT a talking point.

Who is Sarah Palin??

why don't they let her talk to the press now? i can't believe they'd go down and let their best player sitting on the bench. are they still that afraid that if she opens her mouth off script and off dumbaugh or hannity she'll sink them even farther than they already are? maybe if we could learn something about her–anything–then she might not be as petrifying to the non-religious right who fear her. and while they're at it, maybe they could enlighten us on todd. he seems to be quite at home in the governor's office–if they win, i'm sure he'd be equally at home running the presidency. as little as we know of sarah, we know even less about todd and he no doubt would have a big role in the palin/mccain administration should we be so unfortunate.

Obama's got a mountain of chips in front of him and McCain can't even make the Big Blind. Time for McCain and his cocktail waitress to leave the table.

McCain + Bush + Cheney = the same old failed Republican trickle down economics and politics. Palin=precipitation of the spiteful feelings at rallies that incite hatred, prejudice, and racism!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

When debate started McCain´s hand was trembling. Obviously he suffers some Parkinson disease !

That's like Goofy congratulating Elmer Fudd.

October 16th, 2008 1:04 pm ET

»SARAH PALIN=So Beautiful!So Lovely!So Interesting!So SMART!=Our next Vice-President. YES.The Americans are NOT dumb.

****************************************************************************

Wow! And I though Palin was an idiot! Seems her supporters aren't too sharp either!

I'm glad that some people are finally picking up on McCain's stand on " the health of the mother ". This guy is an actual creep. I cannot understand how any woman would even consider voting for him. As for Palin. She is a real nut job. The only thing is, lets not keep saying " send her back to Alaska ". They may refuse to take her if they think we want her to go back. Then we are stuck with her. Maybe Putin will take her to Russia and then she can see Alaska from there.

Please leave my state!

Palin go back to Alaska and face the charges for troopergate

For some reason Sarah Palin reminds me of the uneducated peolpe that I have met in my life span for they always blowing wind. She's forever talking and really saying nothing,at least nothing that is worthwhile talking about. She sounds as if Mccain has his hand up her back and using her as a doll in fact a dumd one that do not know its true purpose.There is a living God for he will see that she get back to Alaska so we hear from her no more,because we as people always remember winners and forget losers. And if she was to ever become Vice President America will become a loser in all aspects.

McCain scared me last night. Looking at his face and his expressions, can you imagine the impression he'll have on our allies when he's face to face with them. They'll be wondering if it's Halloween and no one told them to dress up.

John, you're 7 years past retirement age, you've served your country well, but your service to your country does not include being President. You're way past your prime on that one.

Besides, I am in no mood to watch the rest of the world look down on us any more than they do now. If Palin should become President, we would be the laughing stock of this planet.

Gag me with a pitchfork.

This woman is a disgrace to the political process.

We saw the last debate. We know it is time for a change. Now is not the time to get too confident and cocky....LET'S GO OUT THERE AND VOTE! People, it is time to show the GOP that America is wide awake and that we will NOT go another four years with the same, at this point, worse administration. I've always said to my children, before you can go forward, you need to look backwards to avoid making the same mistakes. Ms. Palin doesn't seem to understand that. I hate to say this, but maybe, just maybe, if she would have looked backwards and remembered that she got pregnant BEFORE she got married (hmmmmm????), her young daughter would be in the same predicament. GOD BLESS AMERICA and all of those who love her enough to make a difference.

This is news because...?

Did you HONESTLY think she would do anything other than praise McCain?

At beginning McCain hands were trembling. Seems he is starting to get the Parkinson disease which at his age is very common.

And someone needs to remind you, yet again, that you are 'not' vice presidential material. It would serve you well to just not speak anymore. For a vast majority of Americans who heard the question "Do you think Sarah Palin is qualified to be Vice President?"...we wanted to (after thinking "Are you serious?!") answer "Dear God in Heaven, on earth, and in my heart....H**L, NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!"

Obama brings up the past because that is how you will run the next administration God forbid if Christian rednecks get into office.

she's a hayseed and mccain sucked at the debate. joe the plumber isnt even a plumber. hes a republican plant. their party is full of untruth sayers.

You know it was interesting to see how the rest of the world kind of watch to see how America would handle the global financial crisis before they made a move. (Probably because it all started in America...everthing starts in America.) So too they are watchin the presidential candidates more carefully this year. And it interesting, I read recently that many Europeans don't like Palin very much becaus of all the reasons that any liberated person wouldn't agree with her (aside from the male sex-crazed international leaders who do). So, I imagine what that would do to America's international relatinships if she is that close to the Whitehouse.

Americans, Bring America out of the DARK AGES into the 21st century. Its time... Moose hunting is good but this not the knowlede we need to be competitive Nationally and in the world scene. Obama is the guy.

ANCHORAGE, ALASKA - A former state worker suing Gov. Sarah Palin over her use of private email accounts has offered to settle, but the state's attorney has so far declined.McLeod says she began looking into this issue in June.

"To me, what's going on is that we have state communications being conducted at the state level in the state's highest office between members, and to me that's a secret government," McLeod said. "And a secret government is a corrupt government."

Hey Sara, what was McCains relationship with G. Gordon Liddy?? You know the convicted Felon....

mccain/palin – take down nobama and his blind followers before its

too late

You know it was interesting to see how the rest of the world kind of watch to see how America would handle the global financial crisis before they made a move.

Every other western country has gotten past this whole absolute capitalist ideology and America is stil stuck in it.

I hope she got a return ticket from Alaska when she joinet the ticket...

I'm disappointed to hear that Olympia Snowe was palling around with Palin.

But Sarah is wrong to say that Obama wants to run against the current administration. Obama is running against 26 years of John McCain's Reaganesque policies. It isn't Bush we need to worry about, it's McCain.

Sarah how will your hubby run the VP office when he can't get a security clearance for belonging to the AIP? It has a violent history, was supported by Iran in the late 90's, and is anti-government, anti USA. What about your involvement with them? Go home, we don't need people like you.

She has no oppinion on her own. She just crawls into McCains – you know what.

What an airhead she is. This woman makes George Bush look like a Rocket Scientist.

"They look to the past" is what this airhead Palin says and yet she speaks of what a man did when Obama was 8 years old.

This woman couldn't make sense if she used Glad Air Freshener. I would say she is 3 bricks shy of a full load but I think 3 bricks is all she got.

Mrs. Palin babbling about freedom of the press during FOX interview:

"As we send our young men and women overseas in a war zone to fight for democracy and freedoms, including freedom of the press, we've really got to have a mutually beneficial relationship here with those fighting the freedom of the press, and then the press, though not taking advantage and exploiting a situation, perhaps they would want to capture and abuse the privilege. We just want truth, we want fairness, we want balance."

Gawd, please somebody shut her up!!

She has nothing important to say to American.

Hahahahahahahaha...she's soooooooooooooooo ridiculous.

CRIMINAL...IF I VIOLATED MY ETHICS I WOULD GET FIRED !!!!

I like how one person said that she is the govenor of the largest state in the union, yeah umm, it also has about the same amount of people as my town...

Palin was a cute ploy while she lasted, but to think that women are so dumb that they would vote for someone because they have the specific female parts if disgusting in my opinion. McCain's whole campain is anti-woman, no rights, not even for equal pay... I'm working on a higher degree than Palin, why not pick me ? I'm smarter, I have worked with more people in social work than her state even has, why not me ?? I guess I was just to intelligent for the job, oh well...

Read the comments from the libs here, and they have the nerve to call the people at the McCain rallies hateful. Funny how to back that up they need to create lies, words that no one at the rallies said, where true liberal Democrat hate is available all over this blog alone. Read the words from the right and the left, see who is really full of hate, lies, and division. It is a fact that if you are not voting for Obama, the average liberal Democrat sees you as a bigger enemy to them and more evil than Al Qeuda and the Taliban, they fully admit to that now.

How is Palin a expert on Autism as McCain said last night. Doesn't her youngest have Downs Syndrome? How does that translate into Autism, two very different medical issues.

I am just sick of this woman. She is an insult to anyone that supported Hillary Clinton and intelligent, professional women everywhere. She runs on pure hate. Her voice and over played folksy accent have become like a cheese grater being scraped accross a slate chalkboard.

The media never reports this stuff, but McCain was/is a notorious skirt-chaser. So much so that he could probably give Bill Clinton pointers. He even left his first wife after returning from Vietnam because she had been disabled in an accident and he just didn't want to be "saddled" with her.

Given his reputation he probably only heard the words "beauty queen" while running the Wasilla Witch through the vetting process and that was good enough for him. Now he had a matched set, a trophy VP to go with his trophy wife.

How I wish Canadian politics were as much fun as the US elections. The debate last night was wonderful. Obama was just soooo great - cool, collected, that smile!, informative, honest and straightforward. I stayed up til 1:30 a.m. watching CNN (time zone differences) and had to work today. Worth every minute of lack of sleep. Looking from afar such as I am - McCain and Palin are scary people - and Palin would set women back 100 years - all our struggles would be in vain. And I've said it before and again now - would someone tell Palin how to properly pronounce Iraq and Iran –'eraq' and 'eran'. I'd do this phonetically but I don't think she'd get it.

President Obama and V.P. Biden the Baton Rouge,La. supporters and supporters around the world for Obama are eagerly awaiting the victory of positive change. We (my family and I) along with the supporters from around the world can't wait for Nov.4.2008 to get here. The Baton Rouge supporters for Obama/Biden would like to invite / welcome you and your family to Baton Rouge, Louisiana. Please don't worry about the lies, your supporters in Baton Rouge and around the world have your back.

Obama / Biden 08'............................................

McCain won the debate just like the report said you didn't abuse power.

She allows herself to be used by this campaign. They don't even include her on their plans and decisions. She's just "keeping the base." How sad!!

She's so clueless, she doesn't even know what she doesn't know. That's scary.

This is to JERRY (BITTER BITTER, POP A LUDE)

Your comment about McCain being able to land a plane on an aircraft carrier....... ROFLMAO..... yah right...... After crashing 5....yes count them....5... aircraft, one on the deck of a carrier, the NAVY CONCLUDED MC CAIN COULDN'T LAND PLANES MUCH OF ANYWHERE IN ONE PIECE...

YOU need to change heros dude!!!!!

She should really go and hide, such a sad woman. Let us hear you do an interview with CNN or any major network. It is hard to tell Sara, John and George apart.

Obama/Biden

Still spewing lies and deception.Same old Palin. Same old McCain. They just don't get it.

Please people – recognize Gov. Palin for the dangerous person she is. If she can so easily lie and disobey the very laws she took an oath to uphold, how could anyone trust her in ANY leadership position? Our nation's respect for law is the utmost importance in our leaders. Otherwise, we have a more typical Latin American dictatorship where leaders can fire and hire at will, abuse power, obstruct justice and do what they will with the like of us. Come on folks, where is your sense of patriotism to our history and the Constitution that made us what we are!

Mccain/Palin just make me speechless. I would be writing for days trying to figure them out!! GO OBAMA/BIDEN 08

Sarah Palin does not deal in the facts, so unless you see it for yourself don't believe her. Remember, it was found that she abused her power as it related to her brother-in-law but she managed to talk all around it.

It took the lower 48 to expose Palin for the person she really is, a woman who will sling any of mucky mud to get elected...Alaska can thank us all later.

As Maine goes......????

That expression is supposed to be used in a battleground states dummy. If this was Showtime at the Apollo, the Sandman would have been took you off the stage.

OBAMA/BIDEN 08

He was really mad before he got in the debate Cindy wrote a letter to AT& T and Verizon i think that there Canyon Home needed Cell tower for phone service because when he becomes president it would not be viewed well across the world they did not have a phone in that home? I guess she forgot that John was serving on in senate a communications bill !! I guess he lost it when they showed up at the home with and emergency tower with wheels on it and proceded to erect the tower? I guess now he will be investigated for accepting this GIFT so McCain and Palin will now be under investigation now that is great i think. wow talk about a grouch he wins that category hands down he thinks he can talk down to everyone like he is special heck he works for us tax payers it is good the debates are over cuz that huge thing on his jaw looked like it would pop and hurt someone !

They're literally circling the drain, and act as if they're still a valid choice. How in denial can you get?

Sarah Palin this is not a beauty pagent. If you need to be reminded, this is a presidential election. Those women that you mentioned can not see Canada from their living rooms. And by the way, have you forgotten that Maine is a democratic state? For me this is an opportunity for you to see the other parts of the US.

You are a disgrace for you to say Maine in your speech yesterday that Maine is in the Northwest. You still need to learn more, it is part of the New England and is one of the northeastern states.
I am an independent but will vote for Obama.

You are a distraction to America and will wink those eyes in selling this nation.
Good bye Palin we have seen you and yet know you.
We want to know you on CNN being interview.

Hey McCain we Americans are beyond your fear tactics. We are cynical and tired of the bussiness as usual in our government. WE WANT CHANGE!! You are not the answer, you are the problem.
Obama/ Biden '08

McPalin is so full of it until she don't even know where she is right now.

SKANK

I am from Maine and none of the people i know are voting for McCain...
Enough with the last 8 years... don't need 4 more.

Wow, I'll be glad when it's over so all you nasty "haters" can crawl back under whichever rock you came from. Never in my life did I know there were so many mean, crude, nasty, "one sided", scummy, hateful "adults" like you. I can only imagine how you have brought up your children. With hate like yours you might as well go live in Comunist China or Russia or somewhere where you don't matter. You all scare me. we will never come together with your hate, never.

McKnucklehead's debate performance was miserable!!

"I want to set the record straight: Currently I would not fall into Barack Obama's $250,000-plus." –Joe the Plumber 10-16-08

PALIN WOULD PRAISE THE DEVIL HIMSELF! HER INEXPERIENCE, LACK OF JUDGMENT AND INTELLIGIENCE IS TELLING ON HER! IF JOHN MCCAIN LOOKED PRESIDENTIAL, OR EVEN SOUNDED LIKE A PRESIDENT WHOM I WOULD WANT REPRESENTING ME, THAT WOULD BE A NIGHTMARE SIMILAR TO HIS TICKET AND CAMPAIGN!

At the end of the rally in Maine when Sarah was signing autographs, someone wanted her to sign a poster saying "i'm Mrs. Joe Plumber." Sarah took the poster but it looked like she said "I'm not signing that" can you please review the film to see if that is what she said?

I WILL BE SO GLAD WHEN SHE GOES BACK TO ALASKA!!

NO McCain and definitely NO Palin. How do you spell relief, its OBAMA!

Book your ticket now on the L&N line, Sarah.

SCORECARD - OBAMA 3

MCCAIN 0

McCain does not have the temperment to be POTUS. Angry, impulsive, erratic. You dare mock the "health" of women in the abortion issue.

Palin you are in no position to judge anything. Go home and take care of all the ethics violations you face there, the old and new ones.

I wonder if McCain's or Palin's mothers agree with their attitude that the "health of the mother" isn't terribly important

McCain + Bush + Cheney = the same old failed Republican trickle down economics on behalf of the filthy rich!

what a dumb woman!!!

Funny how its supposed to be Republicans that are angry. 75-85% of the posts on the ticker are nasty attacks on McCain and Palin on a daily basis and has been this way since before Palin was added to the ticket.

I cannot stand this woman. Her voice, her beliefs, her lies, her distortion of facts, her inability to answer a question that she does not like. The FEAROBAMA supporters-We need to stay focused. We need to make sure we vote. Find someone who may not be voting and take them with you on election day.

Did Sarah check Bangor's welfare stats?

I saw Larry King last week when two GOP women disqualified Sarah and also pointed to the fact that McCain didnt pick her cos she is more qualified but for her beauty(i cant understand why) and her extremism, they also pointed that she has never been treated as a VP pick. Always been treated more like a campaign staff. It is terrible to treat any woman like that. "Use her attitude" This is America EOE its an outrage that people are letting Mccain do what he does best....USE WOMEN TO GET TO WHERE HE WANTS

McCain has to go away. Palin in no way is a roll model for any women I know! The health of the mother in quotes, please! The women I know are smarter than McCain and I don't know anyone as cluless as Palin........they are the clueless couple!

The following is what Gov. Sarah Palin had to say,

the vice presidential candidate.

“I feel like I am at home because I see the Carhartts and the steel-toed boots,” she said, standing next to Maine’s senior senator Olympia Snowe. “And I see mixed in there with the suits and the ties, the NRA hats and all those good things that remind me of home.”

Well let me tell you something lady. We in mainstream america is more than just the type of people you described in your above speech. I have never seen a multi racial, multi cultural crowd in your rallies. I don't feel that you represents as all Americans. We are of many backgrounds and races and mixed so why don't you shut up and start getting ready to go back to you Alaska.

Relax, everyone. The fact of the matter is on November 5th, this crazy woman will be nothing more than a footnote in history. And thank god for that!!!

Did you notice that even John McCain never said in the debate last night that Sarah Palin was qualified to be President if something should happen to him? He's "proud of her", but he never said she was qualified. Obama '08!

I honestly can't wait to say goodbye to this woman on November 5th.

I had enough of her from her very first speech. She is clearly no Hillary Clinton, her only White House experience should be as a tour guide.

It's not over until the fat lady sings, though, so make sure to get out and vote, no matter what the projections indicate.

Obama/Biden – I'm starting to let myself believe.

18 days until you get your ticket back Alaska.

The Mummy and the Dummy strikes again.....Palin is reciting what she was told to say by advisers in that whinny voice....and her parnter in crime is basically begging people to vote for him....Well, he's tried every other strategy, and it all backfired for him....so why not beg at this point??...

OBAMA/BIDEN 2008/2012

This lady is a one trick pony... errr sorry, one trick pitbull.

So, Mrs. Palin, John McCain won the debate last night? The vast majority of Americans disagree with you on that (including me, a former dabate coach). This is just another example of how you and John McCain are just like George W. Bush–you choose to just ignore the facts, put on your blinders and stay the course. You think if you just ignore reality, things will change in your favor. This is not the kind of leadership I'm looking for. Obama, on the other hand, is facing reality and instead of declaring the race is over (as many people are saying), he tells his supporters not to be overconfident. He recognizes that things could change, and he is prepared for that challenge if it occurs. This is the kind of leadership we need–someone whose judgment is grounded in reality, rather than fantasy.

Please VOTE on Nov 4th

Irish Times warned, "just a heartbeat away from the biggest half-baked Alaskan nightmare."

Britain's Financial Times said selection of vice president raised serious questions about John McCain's judgment and added: "The Palin appointment is yet more proof of the way that abortion still dominates American politics"

No McPalin

Standing in line to VOTE beats 4 more years of failed policies
McCain… McBush… McSame…
No More… No More… No More...
We have the power to define America’s fortune

She's a delusional sociopathic habitual liar.

In other word a New Age Republican.

She would have been at home in Berlin in the late 1930's

Look, people should not be worried about Sarah Palin anymore. Before we know it, McCain and Palin will lose and Palin will be back in Alaska being removed from her governor position and being a pariah after this election. Cant' wait for that !!

Make sure you go out and select the right candidate people (19 days left)

Obama/Biden 08/12

lol, I love that Palin is campaigning for ONE electoral vote in MAINE. Good luck, my friend. You apparently really, really need it.

When oh when did simplemindedness become the equivalent of wisdom? When did the republicans decide that ignorance and closemindedness rival intelligence and curiosity? The republicans speak of the importance of education, pushed No Child left behind for that purpose, but then actually sneer at those who choose to pursue higher education. Sasrah Palin personifies all that is wrong with the republican party, and, I am very sad to say, what appears to be a large portion of America.

Palin is old news. Nobody cares about her anymore.

For people who question the pursuit of American dream by Joe the Plumber, and Obama's alleged limits of $250,000 on the American dream., here is a message. Joe, if America gave you a real chance at pursuing the dream, don't you owe it to America, so that many other Joe the Plumbers get their own chance? You are not spreading wealth, you are only paying the cost of living in a civic society. If you still don't want to pay taxes, please go back to living in caves. Oh, I forgot, those are Nationalized Parks now, they need maintenance and you will still need to pay.

who cares what she thinks? where is TODD? the de-factor governor of Alaska and possible Future Shadow VP....

I was under the impression Governor Palin received a fair amount of coaching on what to say at these things. Who in the world told her to spout off the line "as Maine goes, so goes the nation?" I understand that part of being a politician involves pandering to your audience from time, but when you do it, you shouldn't make yourself look foolish.

If the Republicans somehow manage to pull an upset, which is doubtful, at least we'll have Palin around to spout off Bushisms for us.

Truth is not done yet in this election ! I can feel it moving in our hearts , when we hear Joe W. who is a plumber in Ohio . Sarah Palin, working herself through school and by her courage and honesty, Gov. Of Alaska . Mocking mocking small minds are shown small today ! Thankyou hard working America . DONT" GIVE THEM ANOTHER INCH!

Good puppet, good puppet.

McCain is counting on people's stupidity. Not this time. People were fooled by the swift boat tactics the last election. You can't expect people to fall for the same trick twice, do you?

But then again, some people are just plain stupid.

Some people on here seem quite desperate!!

Sarah is a disgrace to woman!
Sarah is a disgrace to politics!
Sarah is a disgrace to intellect!
Sarah is a disgrace to any respectable, smart woman serving in the government!
Sarah is a disgrace to any respectable, smart woman running a household with 5 children!

It is sooooo OBVIOUS she is NOT fit to lead – why on earth would ANY OF YOU dimwits give her the time of day. She cannot speak a proper sentence!!! Case closed!! What more do you want.
She pronounces "nuclear" just like Bush does.

No John McCain may not be Bush – but heck he surely would LOVE TO BE LIKE HIM!! He wants to continue the GOP tradition of having airheads in the white house!!

OBAMA – BIDEN!!

Yeah, but this is the same woman who thought she won her debate with Biden, so her judgement is questionable at best.

You know... it dawned on me... McCain really wants Obama to win... He is employing reverse psychology on his supporters... Consider everything he's done to drive voters to Obama:

1. Selected Palin
2. Conducting himself in a most disdainful manner
3. Continuing the very, nasty, negative campaign

How anyone can support this is beyond comprehension... and McCain is trying his best to make sure they don't vote for him.

There is a secret group (of one) out there known as:
McCain/Palin for Obama/Biden 08

Well Jerry who thinks 'Barry' can't land an air craft on a carrier at night...apparently neither can McOld who had several crashes and was not a good naval officer. He gets kudos ONLY because he survived a POW camp and not because of his military prowess which is why a person from a family of Admirals was NOT accepted as a candidate for Admiral in his future. Sorry Jerry, too lame and too late.

Sarah Palin's future son-in-law is dropping out of high school so he can work in the oil fields and marry the daughter. What a great role model – dropping out of high school? Isn't there someone in the family who would take them in and watch the baby so he can at least finish high school? Not college, mind you, but high school.

What a great role model for our country. I'm sure Sarah really values education.

By the way, can't Sarah and Todd find a babysitter, instead of dragging that poor baby to all these noisy campaign events, sometimes at 11:30 at night. Ah . . . family values!!!

I was truly afraid for McCain's health last night. He looked like he was about to blow a gasket. When he finally was able to smile it was so strained I thought he was going to break his teeth off. We haven't seen that creepy of a smile since Cheney shot his buddy in the face. Between his odd and ongoing sighs, grunts, interrupting, and rolling his eyes, he continued to come across as an angry, rude and obviously second tier candidate to Obama. I have nothing against McCain personally but the bottom line is, his team had their chance and they screwed it up in royal fashion. Now it's time to give someone else a chance.

Kudos to Sen Lewis for his comments regarding the behavior at the McCain-Palin rallies. She so dumb she doesn't even realize how her behavior has incited people to violence.

Obviously she didn't listen to her hero last night. When asked if she was qualified to be President, all he could say was "I am proud of Sarah Palin." Even John McCain doesn't think she (and high school grad? Todd) should be running anything.
What IS wearing thin is the "maverick' and "reformer" labels-they are neither. Both have ethics charges against them-at least he faced his instead of running away, dodging, and saying the opposite of what the report found. So go home, Sarah, and face the music.

Just a point – "lovely" is not a qualification for Vice President or President.

I do hope we hear from Palin after she and McCain lose this election. I want to hear how she is impeached in Alaska and is no longer governor. That's what I want to hear!

Read Rolling Stone's article to learn about the REAL John McCain from exerpts from his own book, interviews with fellow soldiers and POWs and his fellow politicians. Not very flattering.

Read about the Alaskan Independence Party and its founder, Joe Vogler. Scary stuff!

While you're at it, read factcheck.org's piece on Sen. Obama's birth certificate and read about the type of wacko this Philip J. Berg is with all his conspiracy theories.

Complain and Whalin' aught 8

Its very interesting....
"TRUE Americans for MCCAIN!!
»SARAH PALIN=So Beautiful!So Lovely!So Interesting!So SMART!=Our next Vice-President. YES.The Americans are NOT dumb."

I agree with all the above except smart...She is not even close to that qualification.. I know GOP got a lot of smart women but definitely not this one...Obama gave the same conclusion like you did...Americans are NOT DUMB

Ms. Palin, what you just stated what you saw reminds me of another time. Steel toe boots and rifes or whatever. This sounds like the SS troopers. These are normal people I hope . While living in Germany I had the misfortune of meeting a real SS trooper and they are no joke. I am African American the SS trooper liked me and my child but hated my husband. This SS trooper was very proud of his actions and made a joke of the many Jews that he killed. I know that you care for your people Ms. Palin but please do not compare the steel toe boots and rifes.( I can still see that guys cold blue eyes).

Yes. Popeye McCain is "his own man." All mavericky and unpredictable.

The best thing that the continuous 48 states has done for the people of Alaska is that ... Alaskans should now have a pretty clear picture of who is (and what kind of individual is) Sarah Palin. I expect that Sarah Palin is going to find herself jobless very soon and will have to find satisfaction in a life outside of all levels of the political arena.

Don't know if this has been said before, I think it has:

The greatest right of every American is that he or she may one day be elected President.

The greatest duty of every American is to make sure that not just any person is elected President.

Figured it was apropos considering Gov. Palin's political positioning.

yesterday's flower.

Time to concede.

You'll be back in Alaska before you know it.

Palin's praise of McCain's performance rings about as true as her claim to have been cleared or wrongdoing by a legislative investigation report (with more Republicans than Democrats on the commission) that clearly states she "abused her power" as governor and violated a state ethics law in doing so. This person is a cartoon.

McCain won the last debate and that is why there are so many comments here that are against McCain/Palin. They are running scared, and they should be scared. Obama is NOT going to be elected president!

Sarah Palin has so much more executive experience that Obama has!

The "Democrats" are running scared and there is a good reason for that. They know that McCain/Palin will win in November and go on to be our next President and Vice President.

Barack Hussein NOBAMA 2008

McCain/Palin 2008

Sarah may think his performance was great, but I was to busy watching his face and body language and wondering if the guys head was going to explode before the whole thing was through. Watching his jaw muscles twitch and wondering if his tongue was going to pop out of his mouth all bloody because he was biting it so hard. He really looked like the grim reaper had hold of his hands and was trying to keep him from exploding. Sorry John but you need to take the rest of your life off and get your blood preasure back under control.. It's tough on an old guy who has never learned to control his temper to start right in the middle of something important and have to learn to hold it in. I really was just waiting for you to blow last night... You would really have felt better if you had..

Did Palinwatch the same debate as I did? If so she once again proves she really is delusional...

BARF! She is bigger joke around the world and at home here in the states than our current president. How pitiful is that?

What Gov. Palin should've said is "had John McCain chosen Susan Collins, he'd be in a much better position than he is with me and all of my baggage." Course, telling the truth seems to have slipped away from her arsenal this past week, at least if you look at her statement regarding the Abuse of Power investigation.
Paraphrasing, she said "I'm grateful to have been exonerated of any illegal or ethical breaches with respect to my dismissal of Commissioner Monegan." The problem is the FIRST FINDING of the report says that she was found GUILTY of Abuse of Power.
But I guess she'll blame Katie Couric again for some tough questions.

excuse palin
you are so upppppppppppppppp
why the hell would you not go on goodmorning america today. hide out you coward. well no, mcsain ==he want let you off his leash
have a better day sarah
look forward to seeing you in alaska later in the week to account for new charges

cnn i know you want post this. so you have a good day to

Palin’s family values: Life just happens

My son Track was ordered by a judge to join the military or else he had to go to jail for drug dealing so I like honor him cause he's serving in I-raq.

My teen daughter Bristol is knocked up out of wedlock and I am going to force the bustard that got her pregnant into a shotgun wedding just like when I eloped with “First Dude” when he knocked me up out of wedlock as a born again Christian.

Since when is lack of character and bad judgement not an issue? Most of us would not affiliate ourselves with such people. Why would we want them as our leaders?

She's such a pathetic little BIMBO!!

How pathetic must she be, that Obama barely even gave her the time of day yesterday during the debate – it was like "Sarah who?"
She is a bunch of hot air that lady!!

Arrgg – and yet McCain is still proud of her – wow!! just goes to show his lack of judgment!!

@True American's for Mccain aka The something Karl Mark's or whatever:

If you're going to change your name change your writing style also – not everyone is as low on the intellectual scale as you are...

Sarah Palin forgot to mention that at last nights debate it was her running mate that kept wanting to look back at the past! They have nothing left to offer. And Sarah Palin isn't even important anymore.

OBAMA thanked McCain last night for choosing the bird brain of a VP.

HAHAHAHAHAHA. What a joke this whole campaign has become. Does she really believe her own drivel?

The more she talks, the more she alienates voters. Send her home! It was fun to see her in the beginning, but now we know exactly how ignorant of the facts, destructively ambitious, unrealistically optimistic about her own abilities, arrogant and devisive she is.

The GOP and McCain campaign treat Palin like a secretary, a farcical big windbag of hot air in a pretty package. The only person who world leaders would respect even less than McCain is windbag Palin.

It doesn't negate the fact that McCain voted with Bush 90% of the time Sara. Not to mention your unethical behavior in Alaska. That reminds people of Dick Cheney. So when you guys argue we're looking into the past, we have every right to because ya'll haven't showed us how your different from Bush/Cheney.

OBAMA/BIDEN 08

She saw him on TV last night so he MUST be qualified....right?

McCain's face was twitching. He does have an immense anger probem. Sarah Palin shouldn't even be considered as a running mate with her abuse of power problems. She has been found to be guilty of many incidents of using her power to get things to go her way. Very frightening ticket to the least with this pair.

Too bad he doesn't know that your son suffers from Downs Syndrome, not Autism...so much for knowin' ya!

How is this waste of space even relevant anymore?

as an independent black woman..im going to say again...i WAS for mccain in the beginning....he has shot himself in BOTH feet by choosing Palin. People are not even going to vote for him based on that rash decision alone....what were you thinking John? One other name...HUCKABEE! boy johnny you REALLY messed this one up!

Gov Palin is very lucky that Sen Obama didn't SLAM her yesterday when asked what he thought about her as a VP candidate. He chose the high road despite the fact she is firing up her supporters by saying he "palls around with terrorist". Many a mean Democrat would have cleaned her clock as would a Republican if the situation was reversed. But I think the public is starting to she her for what she is and her star is fading, hopefully fades all the way to black.

Good to see Palin in Maine. For some reason the MSM isn't talking about it, but the state is a toss-up. Obama only leads in the most recent polls by 5 percent. Snatching up Maine and New Hampshire would be huge for McCain.

Guilty of Ethics violations. Why is she still running as the VP on this ticket.

Obama/Biden 08

With 19 days left the Mcain camp sends her to Northern Maine to fight for 1 measly electoral vote? That reeks of desparation. Even the RNC has given up here...

Maine will not vote McCain.

Sorry, but she has been found guilty of abuse of power and ethics and has lied since day one...I don't trust her at all.

McCain really didn't do that great in any of the debates, although he did better last night and only for the first few minutes. Do you think she actually watched the whole debate? Or did she read about it in the vast number of sources she reads?

You go Sarah. I mean go back home.

Are we sure it's Palin's kid and not her that has special needs?

On Nov 5 Sarah and her co-governor husband will be on their way back to Alaska to face the music regarding the abuse of power scandel. I hope we never hear another word about them.

On Nov. 4th, McCain will realize how wrong he was on judgement in picking his VP. She is a slap in the face for all the talented experienced women in politics. I see a LANDSLIDE for Obama. That One is the Right One!

Is anyone still listening to her.

Srinivas,
Because he doesn't need to. Let McCain and his b!$ch with lipstick do that. Like Obama said when telling his supporters not to boo McCain, "no, no, we don't need that, we just need to VOTE"

Now that's what I want from a president.

Palin for President! ...of Alaska! ...when Todd gets them to secede!

Sarah go home and take care of your kids / Your plane sign now is SOS and reads " I"VE LOST MY BROOM "

McCain gave up his song" Bomb BombBomb Iran" HE IS VERY CONFUSED IS IT " Bridge To No Where" or "Bridge Over Troubled Water?

WE Care about Healthcare and Jobs and mininuim wage that has'nt risen for more then 10 years how long has JOhn Been there...

Doesn't she realize that noone is buying the "maverick" crap? I hope I don't here her twang that word again...she is a joke.

Sarah Palin does not have anywhere near the credentials to even mention Sen. Margaret Chase Smith, Sen. Olympia Snowe or Sen. Susan Collins. Palin is "bush" league and is no where close to the stature of these women. Please, Sarah, do us all a favor and go back to Alaska where you can keep us informed about what Russia is doing. We need you there.

I see why McCain picked Palin...it's because she's doesn't good judgement as he doesn't. Neither one of them have anything to talk about. They both have skeletons in their closet. McCain and Palin can't run a clean campaign so why should we trust them to run the White House.

OBAMA/BIDEN 2008/2012

Compared to you, ANYONE has a great debate performance, Mrs. Palin.

Say hi to Putin when you get back home in November, y'hear

As Maine goes ....?
Do you have any thing new to tell, Ms. Palin?

»SARAH PALIN=So Beautiful!So Lovely!So Interesting!So SMART!=Our next Vice-President. YES.The Americans are NOT dumb.

er, as Maine goes so goes the nation? Wouldn't that then mean we would have had Gore and Kerry presidencies??? Does anybody on her campaign even attempt to coach her to get her facts straight??

Do you know whats kindof ironic about the fact that they say McCain isnt Bush? They want to attach Obama to this Ayers guy and warn people basically that, you are judged by the company you keep. Well thats good enough to do this with Obama, but in the same breath, I personally feel that also holds true for McCain. McCain says to Obama last night: "I am not Bush". Well the irony is, he is a Bush follower, a Bush crony, and a Bush supporter, so if you ask me, he indeed physically isnt Bush, but he will and does, carry Bush's ideals.

I am an independant, and truthfully, McCain gives me the creeps. His facial expressions and his rudeness remind me of Bush. Bush didnt care about anything but war, and neither does McCain in my opinion, and his constant disgusted looking expressions speak volumes. Besides that, Palin is nothing more then a robot, saying what she is told to say. That does not make for a leader!

If you are really thinking about this country and people's life, you should spend time to demonstrate why you think one candidate is better than the other based on job creations here in USA, national security, health insurance and education. What direction do you want US to go? What is the reason why we are in this financial crisis?

This time you need to keep your cool and sharp. Picking a right president who can take us right on the track.

Palin should be a Hollywood actress. She would do very well in movies like:Clueless and Dumb and Dumber.

Hey Jerry, you said:
Wow. Bitter Bitter. You guys need to pop a lude and chill a bit. Not a very nice way to speak about the governor of the largest state in the nation.
Although Alaska is larger in size it is very small in population – they have less than 800,000 people or are you counting the penguins?
We have more cities in this great nation of ours that have more people than the whole state of Alaska.
Think – if you can!

Elizabeth-
I agree with you. When McCain hooked his fingers to "quote", he looked like Dr. Evil (aka Mike Meyers) in the Austin Powers movie!

"tractor beam"

Did anyone catch the McCain slip.... "health of the mother... that's what the extreme left pro abortion folks always say"
Incredible. Just incredible.
To think that, because you care about the health of the mother that makes you an extremist is just, well, incredible.

Any woman with a brain should be very alarmed by this pair of kooks.

I am voting for John Mc Cain and Sarah Palin because they support protecting babies growing in their mother's wombs. That is an absolute that cannot be sweet-talked away.

"John McCain is his own man, he is the maverick"–a 'maverick' that voted with Bush 90% of the time. Just more lies. Go away.

I wonder if she will declare Maine "part of the great Northwest", as she did in New Hampshire, I mean, it just looks like it ...Sarah the Pretender is an insult to women, an insult to any thinking people! Your rah-rah times are over, go back to your rifles and AIP buddies!

Go home to Alaska, you are a truly evil human being.

Give credit where due, McCain did a good job at the beginning of the debate. He tried to get under Obama's skin. When it didn't work McCain became angry Obama stayed cool . The last half of the debate went to Obama. As far as Palin, she is looking at 20012

So Thanks you to the Great North West State of Maine.

Hilarious how her lack of intellect is just now a small foot note....

"and I’m sure that you all remember the saying that as Maine goes, so goes the nation,” she said, ignoring the fact that the state in fact voted for Al Gore and John Kerry in the last two presidential elections.

TOO FUNNY...

Good God, will this woman ever go away?

Did Palin watch the same debate that I did?

Palin is as delusional about last night's debate as she is about the findings of the Alaskan investigation commission.

In listening to Palin this AM her stump speech when she's not "Obama bashing" it is nothing more that a continuous string of neocon talking points and sicking sweet patriotic platitudes.

Thanks but no thanks...

idiot.... McCain is Bush. He admitted voting with Bush 90% of the time.

Gov. Palin, I don't know how Maine reminds you of Alaska. The Governor and Senators there actually pay their taxes!

It's funny that most of the comments on this CNN site are the most liberal ones I have seen anywhere. All you have to do is check the facts out and see that MCCAIN stands for real change. Obama is a hack and if you check out the records and actually do some real research you will see that.

Oh by the way; all of you Obama supportors out there (most of them on this site) talk about negative campaigning and Obama bashing from the Republican ticket; maybe you should take step back and look at the bashing and lack of substance you portray in every comment you make on this site

MCCAIN 08 !!!

Palin needs to look at history. She wasn't the first VP nominee to be a woman. The Democrats did that in 1984. I am sure that there are other parties that have done that before. The Green party has a woman at the TOP of their ticket; her statements about women being elected aren't all that extrodinary.

The point that Palin is missing is that while George Bush isn't on the ballot, his policies are. McCain has many of the same or similar policy stances that Bush has now. He's not as much of a maverick that he is made out to be.

Palin has her head in the sand. This woman is dangerous, not because she's smart, but because she's stupid. She's "every person". We don't need an average Joe in the White House we need someone who's exceptional.

One of my favorite movies when I was a kid said this... "No matter how much the wind howels, the mountain cannot bow to it" (Disney: Mulan).

THAT is what we need. We need someone of unflappable intelligence that doesn't treat others with disdain.

We don't need McCain or Palin. They don't fit either. We need Obama who is the mountain who cannot be blown over by McCains great wind.

THAT is what we need.

Good to see Failin visiting the "Northwest" again.

Let's see.......watching the news last night they had a sound bite of Ms Palin – in New Hampshire I think – at any rate she made reference to being in the NORTHWEST........duh........need geography 101?

Yeah – send her back to Alaska – let them impeach her. I sure don't want her anywhere near the White House.

Obama/Biden 08

Why didn't Obama raise the issue of Keating Five and Sarah Palin's palling around with secessionists in Alaska? Why was he just turning his other cheek for these scumbags?

GO HOME SARAH!!!
go set up a .50 cal. machine gun on ya room and watch for russian plane flying around ya neck of woods...sheesh.

OBAMA-BIDEN 08 ALL THE WAY TO THE WHITE HOUSE!!!!!

Palin should realize that all she can do now is hurt McCain. She needs to hide away and let him lose with what's left of his dignity.

You liberals constantly claim to support "tolerance" and "diversity" but you are clearly the most angry and resentful people on earth. You love "diversity" as long as it isn't "diversity of opinion." You'd rather lob lame insults at conservatives instead of even attempting to debate the issues.

She's so yesterday's news... Can we move on to the team that will make the next administration? Obama and Biden will be voted in November 4th and this one will never be anything else.

It's too bad for McCain. He has received the worst campaign advice since Nixon ran against Kennedy. Going negative, being a "fighter." "taking the gloves off," all but backfired on him. The issues is even larger, because, McCain himself could no see or fathom that the advice he was getting had the opposite desired effect. And we can not have this in any sitting U.S. President, and the voters see it.
Of example by claiming he was not bush, while he campaigned for Bush in 2004, and has snuggled up to most of Bush's policies make McCain look like an idiot. But he was told to say this. He was told by the same people it worked when it did not.

I wonder if she thinks Maine is in the North-WEST as well as New Hampshire.

WOOOOO LET'S PUT THE MAVERICK IN THE WHITE HOUSE! MAVERICK! MAVERICK! MAVERICK! THE MAVERICK! JOHN MCCAIN IS THE MAVERICK! I'M SARAH PALIN AND I'M SO INTELLIGENT! I LOVE MAVERICKS!

JD...John McCain was not found GUILTY of anything. You better do some fact checking. He was cleared of all wrongdoing in Keating Five Scandal. (the panel was made up of 3 dems and 3 rep senators). Both John McCain and John Glenn were cleared of impropriety but criticized for poor judgment.

Jerry October 16th, 2008 12:47 pm ET

Wow. Bitter Bitter. You guys need to pop a lude and chill a bit. Not a very nice way to speak about the governor of the largest state in the nation.
Have you heard that McCain can't use E-mail? Well, Barry can't land a jet on an aircraft carrier in the middle of the night. Let's get civilized.

My understanding is that we will know who the winner is sometime in the first week of November.
=======================================================

Wow, way to go Jerry. Is you last name "Atrics"? You may want to do a simple fact finding mission before you spout off such trivial nonsense. I'll give you a point for citing the fact that Senator Obama probably couldn't land a jet on a carrier at night (unlees of course he went to flight school), but I deduct 5 points for the number of jets McCain had "lost" during his illustrious career.

I hear continued calls to focus on the 'real' issues, such as the current economic crisis, and away from matters of character, judgment, and leadership.

Why do you think we're in this crisis?

Seriously......I'm not comfortable with Palin possibly being my Commander-in-Chief. McCain really screwed the pooch for me when he chose her. Obama chose someone who knows the ropes and hasn't forgotten where he came from. I can relate to that.... Palin I cannot relate to because she seems like the gossip girl in every neighborhood...you know the one who believes they know everyones business and tlaks about it like its the whole truth and nothing but the truth so help her McCain. Total Drama!!!

McPalin are running scared. If these people believe they will win the election, they are pawn at the political game.

I had a 74 year old gentleman in my office today who told me he has never voted for a Democrat.

His comment to me was "That Sarah Palin scares the hell out me"

He watched all three debates and came to the conclusion Barack Obama is the one who instilled the most confidence in him. Needless to say he'll be voting for Barack.

Nice VP pick John. I don't think this guy is the only Republician voting for Barack now

She must really be enjoying the beautiful north-west!!
Do you think she knows where France is? Or Peru?
Or anything?
The world is laughing. Unfortunately.

Since McCain is a Republican and has been in bed with Bush and Cheney on failed trickle down economic policies 90% of the time, Palin's ignorance shows through again

america be aware that Sarah is a very dangerous person and will do anything to get John McCaine elected in hopes that she in turn will become president. God help the U.S.

if you reject looking to the past, why do you keep bringing it up.
lol... what a dufas (yep, the feminine form of dufus)

With an IQ at borderline retarded to those that "see themselves" in her rate at this level also?

Gov Palin is one of the sleaziest persons this country has ever produced.

Jerry October 16th, 2008 12:47 pm ET

========================

Apparently McCain can't land a jet on an aircraft carrier in the middle of the night either.....

roflmao

Obama has to run against the past- McCain has 26 years of Senate experience – he is the past. He side with GWB on too many issues and he quotes Ronald Regan as his mentor and hero.
MCCain is the the past and Palin is form her own little world.
When Biden was commenting on the debate last night- her campiagn yurned down the oppotunity to comment- why? Becasue someone might ask her a question and she is clueless!

Good luck in ME Todd!

SS. TITANIC !!!!!

Jerry, do yourself a favor and read the online story in Rolling Stone called "Make Believe Maverick." Seems like McCain has a little trouble landing aircraft on those carriers you're talking about.

Why is Sarah wasting her time stumping in Maine? So many red states are turning blue. Why isn't she out on the battleground states? McCain's campaign knows she is a liability. Educated Republicans are for Obama. Yes we can cross party lines, and vote for THAT ONE with the brains!

YOU KNOW WHAT?

I TRULY BELIEVE THAT JOHN McCAIN and SARAH PALIN MUST BE DEAF, DUMB AND BLIND.

I DON'T THINK THEY HEARD AND SAW THE SAME DEBATE MILLIONS OF OTHER VOTERS WATCHED LAST NIGHT!! LOL.

I THINK IN THEIR MINDS THEY HAVE "CREATED" THEIR OWN
"DISTORTION WORLD OF MAKE BELIEVE"...... AKA: LA LA LAND!!!

Of course she will praise McCaine because she do not know any better. The guy needs anger management. He would have done well, but he can't help himself. I would hate for this man to get upset and have a heart attack. Because he needs anger management, he should focus on that for the rest of his life.

Jerry,
Hate to remind you hun, McCain had some problems landing his jets on aircraft carriers (without causing major fires) as well.
These are not the issues on which you need to base your decision for Leader of the Free World.

WHERE IS HER NOTE CARDS?

Doesn't Palin realize she is so out of her league just standing with Sen. Snowe?

Obama/Biden 08

Sarah Palin makes Dan Quayle look like a rocket scientist!

Did we watch the same debate? I once again saw a calm and collected intelligent man and a old, tired and angry old man. I find the grunting, blinking, snappy tongued old geezer repulsive and out of ideas.

The only chance this country has to get out of this death trap is to vote for Obama.

I'll miss Tina Fey on SNL after Nov 4 th.

Good Job Sarah.

I never liked this woman don't know why. I think because she has been a gimmick from the start!!

Sorry, I don't agree with Palin. I found McCain snarky.

Well, someone needs to tell Little Miss Ice Chip without a brain that her "opinion" is irrelevant and most likely another laterante view of reality in the endless string of lies she spews.

Someone also needs to clue Miss Clueless Hockey Puck that her hairstyle doesn' t make her any more credible or believable. Her Alaskan fairytale is coming to a crashing end.

Palin need to be impeach, McCain was a joke last nite because he remind me of a evil old grumpy man.....The republican party is scared because they are going to lose some seats because of Palin and McCain.

Obama/Biden 08/12
Hillary/Michelle 2016

"The first woman ever to run for vice president on the GOP ticket was sure to pay homage to Maine’s tradition of electing female Republicans."

The key difference is that Maine has a tradition of electing competent, intelligent people who happen to be Republican women.

While Palin may perhaps have intelligence she has absolutely no interest in learning about nor understanding complex issues and being competent does not include abusing one's executive authority for personal gain.

Correct Denise... Do your research on the racist mulim plant known as Obama. Just read his books and see the movie called Obsession.

What is the deal? "As Maine goes, so does the nation?" Hopefully, this time it will be true. Her handlers are doing a poor job keepign her informed, that's for sure. I'd love to see her on The View without her monitor and earpiece-fed logic!
She knows as much about the lower 48 and American politics as I do about stripping a moose.
She makes me want to be a vegetarian. Maybe all that moose meat is affecting her intellect.

Sarah , We all know that 'Joe the Plumber' is a McGimmick

LOL she said Obama is stuck in the past... just shows how pathetically stupid she is.

Sweetie did you notice last night McCain did NOT answer the question if you could be president if anything happen to him ..... jajaaaa

how sad!!!

One advise for Sarah Palin...stop talking because you don't know the real issues. The more you talk, the more damage you're doing to your ticket. As a woman...you are not a good role model to the majority of women. Why aren't you home dealing with your unethical abuse of power anyway?

Exactly, Chris in PA. Why is this woman still allowed out in public?
The hate she inspires is Hitler-like, and her stupidity about it is – there are no words! Can you imagine her in charge of our country?? My God, we'd be wiped off the planet!

Palin says, "Wow, Maine is so much like Alaska, can you guys and gals see Russia from here too?"...

What do you expect from her. She is clueless just like her running mate. The great thing is, there are enough of us who DO get it, to make sure THEY never get near the White House.

How can any real American support John McCain after he "palled around" with Communists for five years??? At a time when we were at war!

Yeah, "he was shot down" - but when they gave him the chance to leave, he volunteered to stay there, along with Jane Fonda, in the enemy's country at a time of war.

Sen. Obama did not hesitate to come forward to defend when Gov. Palin was in trouble of Pre-marital pregnancy of her daughter. This woman now goes around and tells people... "sen. obama pals around the terrorist". That is despicable, and disguested.

Haven't you all figured it out yet. Palin can't go home!!

Imagine what she is going to face back in Alaska!!!

Why is this puppet still allowed to speak...???

American people are so materilistic that why other countries despise us. Most are materialistic an wasteful. Life is more important than money. Obama; better healthcare=better life, better education= better life, more an better jobs= better life, better infrastructure means no more bridges falling an killing folks=better life, stronger America wit everyone on the same playing field sticking together an not devided=better life. WAKE UP STUPID

Sarah, In just 21 days you can go back home and start working on your re-election campaign for the Alaska governorship. Enjoy the pork while you can, I'm sure that there will be less heading up north after your lower 48 tour. Good riddance.

If only McCain had picked Romney! If only!

Unfortunately, apart from himself, FAILIN, as expected, has so quickly turned out to be McSame's greatest liability

I think we all understand that John McCain is not, physically, the same person as George Bush. Beyond policy convergence, the two share the same philosophical views on the economy. For them, the wealth of nations is best built from the top down: as the rich get richer, they take the rest of society with them in a general upward trend. The dogmatic belief in the wealth generating capacity of the all powerful market, however, has been seriously discredited in recent months. We need a system to enables wealth to be generated from the bottom up.

Therein lies a key difference between the McCain/Bush camp and Barack Obama: one side is for the wealthy and the maintenance of a near aristocratic economic elite; the other is for the advancement of the true drivers of the American economy, everyday people like you and me.

Props from a nitwit. Choice!

Sarah Palin!

The great american joke!

The whole world is laughing at America.

This is what I expect from a Republican .... SPIN ...

While it is true that McCain did BETTER than he had done previously ... He still LOST last night.

We are not grading on a "curve" in this Presidential election.

America, hire the SMART guy ... the calm, cool & collected guy ... the handsome, gregarious and personable guy ... the pragmatic guy ... the diplomatic guy ... the guy committed to get bin laden instead of simply continuing the war in Iraq.

Why do you Obama supporter day after day need to act so darn mean. Just for once, I would like to see an Obama supporter who can find the good in all people.

Instead of bashing McCain and Palin 24/7 can't you find one thing good about them. Perhaps the fact that Governor Palin got the oil companies to pay a wind fall profit tax (something Senator Obama is for). As for Senator McCain, what about his IRA plan so seniors don't have to take the Required Minimum Distribution (again something Senator Obama said had merit). See that wasn't so hard.

Just to show you I play fair...I think Senator Obama's health care is much more in line for most Americans. I think Senator Mccain needs to readjust his plan to fit more people.

See it really isn't all that hard to be nice!!!

Of course she would. I heard a little bit of her speech today and she bragged how McCain would end the abuse of power in Washington. Now how funny is that. Sarah was just charged with abuse of power in Alaska and other abuse of power investigations are still ongoing against her. So according to Sarah Palin, John McCain should be firing her for her abuse of power and ethics violations. What a hypocrite.

What was the deal with McCain's tongue last night???

For the first time, John McCain really frightened me. When he hooked his fingers in a "quote" marks to deride the possibility that the health of a worman could be used to support legal abortion, he put every woman on notice. Women will die again, as they did before Roe vrs. Wade under a McCain regime. I guess that's OK with these gun lovin' rads from the right, but it is not OK by me!
Go Obama!

America doesn't need 2 people found guilty of ethics violations (1 by the Senate, 1 by the state where she's governor) in the 2 highest offices in the land.

Go home, Sarah. Go back to one of your many McMansions, McCain.

Sarah, you're old news, you're irrelevant, and a drag on the party. Go home and quit our shrill squealing.

I am SOOOOO sick of her coming out and whipping up her hillbilly supporters in her phony folksy accent, and then ducking away when an interview opportunity comes her way. Unless it's with the equally delusional Hannity or Limbaugh, who feed her softball questions. Man, I'm sick of this lady!!

Wow. Bitter Bitter. You guys need to pop a lude and chill a bit. Not a very nice way to speak about the governor of the largest state in the nation.
Have you heard that McCain can't use E-mail? Well, Barry can't land a jet on an aircraft carrier in the middle of the night. Let's get civilized.

My understanding is that we will know who the winner is sometime in the first week of November.

The wicked witch from the west needs to go back home on her broomstick!!

Lying again!!!

When are you Republican women going to come clean regarding Palin. She is making all of you seem STUPID!!

What a great example for Republican women!!

You go from Connie Rice to Palin. What a joke!!!

I think the fat lady is tuning up. We have 3 more weeks of this circus, and then we'll be able to get down to the businesss of taking our country back.

Obama/Biden is the only ticket that makes sense. John not only needs to retire, he needs to get some sleep. He's mean, cranky and just not a nice guy.

Another three weeks and no one will care what this woman has to say.

What is that on the palm of her right hand?

Why don't Sarah just pack up and go back to Alaska. If it is up to me to judge her qualifications, she is not qualified to run anything.

Palin said, "It’s so great to be here in the state that has elected Sen. Margaret Chase Smith, has elected Sen. Olympia Snowe and Sen. Susan Collins,”

I'm thinking she's talking to Alex Trebeck after she took "Republican Women from Maine Incredibly More Qualified to Serve as Vice President than Sarah Palin" for $300.

No kiddin' I thought he was about to have a stroke. God Bless his heart – Senator McCain you need to be home taking care of the grandkids – do you have any? Ooops.. Anyway he was beat yesterday, no doubt about that – the sooner McPalin starts reading something "anything" to educate her misinformed scatter brain, she would do better!

Was Joe Six Pack the Plumber there? lol

Do not put yourself in the same sentence as Margaret Chase Smith..even if anyone thinks McCain did a half way decent job at the debate last night...we now are faced with the question Do we want Palin as VP and most likely President due to the number of rings on McCain. I think NOT...time to go back to Alaska, educate your children, rock your illigitmate grandchild, hunt moose, keep an eye on Putin and see who else you can fire when they disagree with your decisions.

The last thing we need in the White House is a "maverick" and his unqualified, kook side-kick. Or worse, a business as usual Republican, politician's politician senior citizen who thinks he's a maverick because he chose a dangerously unqualified and unaware political newby because of her gender.

My friend's; this isn't the work of a maverick, it is the last dying gasp of a party whose time has run out. The Republicans have ruined the once great nation's name, stolen the future from our children and are leaving Obama one hell of a mess to clean up.

POOR THING!

SHE OBVIOUSLY DIDN'T UNDERSTAND THE FUNDAMENTALS OF THE DEBATE.

Abuse of Power Palin. I noticed Sen. Obama didn't say she was qualified to be POTUS.

Palin and her unpatriotic husband should go back to where they came from. Oh, that's right, there's an initiative in Alaska to IMPEACH her!
She and McCain have done more damage to this country with their lies than ANY candidate has ever done to our great nation.
My husband was polled last night and when asked to rank Palin on a scale of 1 to 10 he asked "don't you have a negative number?"
That's how we feel about her. She is less than a ZERO!

MCCAIN LOOKED LIKE A PYSCHO LAST NITE! " HERE'S JOHNNY !" FROM THE SHINING! SCARY!!!!!!!!!!!! IT SHOWS HIS TEMPERMENT IS NOT RIGHT FOR PRESIDENT!!!!!!!

MCCAIN/PALIN TICKET TO "NOWHERE"!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

One more thing: Hey, Sarah - are you enjoying yourself up there in Maine? You know, as you said yesterday, up there in the "great Northwest"????

She is still in denial

"Palin the unaware"

If you can shut up for once we'll appreciate it!!

A fun site: palinaspresident.com

Dog-Gone-It! I can't wait until this CORNBALL goes back to the frozen north once and for all!!!!! YOU BETCHA! (Wink,Wink)!

The whiner and the winless. I think Sarah and John are a joke. What does it say about the top of the ticket when he can't get a crowd on their own. John needs Sarah to get people to listen to him.

Also, Sarah says she won't talk to the mainstream press. News Flash, the mainstream press is what most of America listens to, hence the word mainstream. Who wants a presidential candidate who only talks to Fox Noise, and Rush Limbreath? Sarah's a joke and so is John. John wouldn't give Sarah the time of day in any other circumstances. He would be with her, and definitely wouldn't invite her to his highbrow social events with his friends.

Wake up America, this is not the team to get the country back ont he right track.

do you wonder why Senator Collins is no where NEAR your rally??

I have never supported, much less cared for George W. Bush.
I never thought ANYONE could be more clueless or full of him or herself......but Sarah Palin proved me wrong, and even more frightening - almost makes me appreciate Dubya.
Talk about a cold chill running down the spine.....

Who cares? She thinks she is in the northwest

I saw on NMC that a small panel of undecideds in Virginia were asked if they know of anyone who would not vote for McCain because of Sarah Palin. All 6 of them indicated "yes". Granted, this is only 6, but it is interesting. She continues to haul off pot shots against "That One" with no substance of her own and no reference to anything in particular that the McCain campaign proposes. Yes, she can stir up a crowd. Yes, she can speak with conviction. But over and over, repeatedly, she offers no substance at all. People continue to see through it. BE SURE TO VOTE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

As usual, Palin speaks like she just doesn't understand the English language. Either that or she's just a shameless liar, and one who thinks we are all stupid enough to accept statements that are the very opposite of reality.

Last night, John McCain got served, as EVERY POLL (even Faux News) showed. And Palin sounds "a note of triumph", or babbles about how Obama's strategy is "wearing thin"? What a complete joke.

Maybe she noticed that Obama didn't even bother to refute McCain's half-hearted attempt to defend her (even McCain didn't actually say she's qualified). You know why? Because he's too smart to take the bait. And why bother to take a shot a someone who is doing such a good job of making a fool of herself, all by her self?

That's the kind of smart man we need as a President. GO-BAMA!

The Republicans are the ones that are looking to the past. They are practicing the Republican politics of fear and hate that they have used since Nixon's time. Their plan for the future of this country is to continue the failed Republican policies of the past. I'm still waiting for the trickle down economics from the Reagan Administration to reach me. I guess that it will be coming any day now.

Palin, what polls did you get your information from? McCain did better than he did in the last two debates, but he is still a bitter, old man and yes a vote for McCaain is still a vote for Bush politics...

Alaska awaits you

Go Obama/Biden 08

Go home and spend some time with your children. Also, when you go back to your day job, tell your husband that he is not the Governor of Alaska, you are I think.

Obama owes Mccain a great big "Thank You" for choosing Mrs. Palin.

...And someone needs to remind you, yet again, that you are not vice-presidential material. It would serve you well at this point, just to not speak.

After last night, when the wind completely and finally deserted the McCain sails, speeches by Sarah Palin will seem even more out of step with reality than they have sounded in the last seven weeks, and I didn't think that was possible.

John McCain is irresponsible for chosing this woman as potential Vice President. I think he sealed his fate when he chose her. He WILL NOT be the President of the United States. Keep talking Sarah...the more you talk, the more people will vote for Obama and Biden.

Yay Guns!! Yay Six Packs!! Yay Alaska!! Yay Stuff!!!

McCain/Bimbo 08

Does Palin read or even watch the news or the transcripts? Is she thinking??????

It seems as if she gets her talking points an then go to the public and start to talk with no reservation.

I SEE YOUR STILL TALKING SARAH.

hint hint::::::::: NOBODY IS LISTENING ANYMORE!!!!

Go home Sara. Did you get the memo the race is over.

What choice does she have since her computer chip is running low on batteries and she is also running below the radar. You can see the disbelief in her eyes and her tone, the end is near and you have no choice but to run out the clock.

Alaska here we come on the horse that we flew out on.

President Obama
VP Biden

What does she know ? If her debate had been moderated like last night she would already be back in Alaska, not spewing hate all accross the country.

Sara Poolin-lol you will sink just like McShame,

Pssst Sarah.
You were in Maine today, which is in the northeastern portion of the US, not northwest. It's in a region of the lower 48 called New England. Listen carefully now: NEW England does NOT give you foreign policy experience.
Glad I didn't have audio here. But I knew you'd use "maverick" in your talk. Felt at home in Maine now did ya? Wonderin' just how many of those folks have a seaplane and got their houses built for free. That's so mavericky, gettin' kickbacks and favors you betcha!!!

PS: that BIPARTISAN report did NOT clear you of acting unethically, in fact it stated just the opposite. Liar.

Is Sara Palin aware that she is John McCain's "achilles tendon"? And no, it's not because she's a woman. It's in spite of the fact that she's a woman.

McCain is palling around with Palin the troopergate. What a hypocrite?

I loved ot too because McSame loss. Obama will be our next president.

McCain/Palin, its time to send the canary into the bowels of your campaign.

Sarah...you my friend are an IDIOT!

There were no papers in front of her this morning so that she could read the news that McCain lost again.

The Starbucks coffee cup had a quote but darn she used that one already.

You're irrelevant Sarah. No one is listening any more. LIes get old fast.

What else could she say??? He looked like Snidely Whiplash debating Dudley Do Right.......looked a bit creepy to me and what is with that sneering laugh and his odd facial expressions??

Obama/Biden 08!!!

Iknow what I'm going to be for halloween........Joe the plumber.....tool belt....steel toed boots..... and butt crack !!!

Mccain Is The Same As Bush. . . End Of Story!

The only cracks Gov Palin will get are more wise cracks! Her blind ambition led her to this position. Positives and negatives come with the territory!

CNN please stop censoring my comments. Thank you.
GOD BLESS AMERICA THE BEAUTIFUL!!

Here's another thing to remind you of Alaska, Sarah: Sliding down a slippery slope. You're on your way!

I GUESS SHE WAS WATCHING A DIFFERENT DEBATE

Why is she still talking?

She's not very bright, is she?

Yawn

Todd Palin + Sarah Palin + Alaska Independance Party = Anti-American

Check out the Huffington Post. You will see an article that links the AIP to Islamic groups from Iran. Bad news. Sarah and Todd are dangerous people.

If something happens to McCain...she would be your next president. Do your research, people, that's all I ask.

Dumb (Bush)
Dumb (McCain)
and
Dumber (Palin)

McCain / Palin
Unstable / Unable

Does she come up with anything original? WE WANT ANOTHER INTERVIEW!!!! IF YOU ARE READY TO BE PRESIDENT WHY CANT YOU SPEAK TO THE MEDIA?????COME ON SARAH ITS TIME TO TALK CANDID OFF THE TELEPROMPTER!!!!!!! PLEASE TALK TO ANY CNN REPORTER!!!!

I Have News For You Palin . . . Mccain Is Bush!

And you, Sarah, are none of those women, nor do you come close. Myabe your non answer to Katie Couric about what you read is because you don't. Have you looked at all the polls today? Everyone from all the voters said McCain LOST! take your abue of power and your lack of ethics back to Alaska!

Obama/Biden look to the past?

Really?

Then why does Mooselini obsess over William Ayers and what he did in the past? And how Obama interacted with him in the past?

There is no end to the hypocrisy of this evil, lying, corrupt woman.

The ultimate irony:

The Personnel Board investigation she launched to distract people from the legislative investigation? It's now broadening its scope to include additional charges against Sarah Hitler Palin.

She's going to go home a loser, then get herself IMPEACHED.

Soon she'll be a full time stay at home mom just like her church says she should.

Sarah reminds me a bit of the socially clumsy kids I knew in school with one difference. They had a brain.

LOL.. only hype lady... we all know he bombed bad.

The only reason you thought he did great was because he got erratic and hateful like you like people to be.

GOV.PALIN NEEDS TO SHUT UP AND SIT DOWN. YOU ARE NO HILLARY. BUT, IF I HAD TO VOTE FOR A VP. I WOULD VOTE FOR GOOFY. HE SEEMS LIKE HE IS MORE INTELLGENT THEN YOU.

Sarah, you need to go home and take care of your children and face the music on you abuse-O-power scandal. You have no credibility.

Obama/Biden 2008/2012.

voting for mccain is about as safe as tickling a rattlesnake.

ENOUGH IS ENOUGH!!!!!!!!!

Great to be "here in the Northwest" again, eh?

If you don't "look to the past" sometimes, Sarah, then you are completely unable to learn from it. Stop with your moronic catch-phrases.

“And I see mixed in there with the suits and the ties, the KKK hats and all those good things that remind me of home.”

Then go back home Sarah, because we don't want you in the United States of America. Go back and complete you and your husbands pet project of having Alaska Secede from the union.

Palin around with secessionists and liars!

Look, McCain did absolutely terrible in the debate. Better than his other debate performances, but Obama did much better as well and this is the first time McCain got knocked-out.

She is going down with the ship.

Yadda, yadda, yadda there Fido. Keep going after those 4 or 5 electoral votes when you need big states like Missouri, Fl, OH. Of course since you can't talk your way out of a paper bag, it's smart that the campaign sends you to the small ones since your presence in MO, FL, OH would result in them tracking more to Obama in mere seconds

When is CNN going to DEMAND an interview with this candidate?? It is outrageous that a person running for VP has not sat down with an objective reporter to repeat and substantiate any of her claims or her record.

Who is Sarah Palin???

PUPPET! GO HOME!

Go home, Palin....Russia misses you!!!

Funny, America doesn't see him as the winner, Sarah.

figures you would approve paliar, mccain was evil, vindictive, he lied, was angry and rude so that is right up your alley.
mccain/palin = clueless pathological liar!

So what did anyone expect her to say – that it was awful? By the way, Diane Sawyer of GMA got reaction from Biden re the debate, however Palin declined to comment.

McCain needs to get his anger issue checked out. His facial expressions looked like he was almost in total meltdown last night.

Okay, if I hear McCain tell us one more time that Palin has a good understanding of special needs children I think I am going to scream. She is just getting started with her special needs baby. She has no clue what it means to have a special needs child until she has to reach out to her community and educational system. Until she has to fight for her child's needs and rights first hand, she and McCain should not even put this in their political arena experience!

do they really have the money to be in maine ?
